A top staffer of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) arrived at IRS headquarters on Thursday ahead of a planned audit announced by President Donald Trump.
Elojn Musk aide Kavin Kliger visited the DC offices of the IRS to examine its systems, according to the Wall Street Journal, which noted that Kliger has been working at the Office of Personnel Management.
Later in the day, Trump announced that DOGE would audit the nation’s tax collection agency.
“The Internal Revenue Service will be looked at like everybody else,” Trump told reporters during a White House press briefing.
“They’re doing a hell of a job. It’s an amazing job they’re doing,” Trump said of Musk and DOGE. “I call it the force of super-geniuses, but it’s building, and you know they go up, and they talk to some of the people about certain deals, and they get all tongue-tied because these people get it. They’re very smart people. We need smart people.”
Trump was responding to a question about Kliger’s visit to the IRS and whether the administration wants to close the agency – to which Trump said he did not expect that to be the case.
