House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer is set to establish a new subcommittee to collaborate with the recently formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, in efforts to eliminate government waste, Fox News Digital has learned.

According to a source familiar with the matter, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) will chair the Delivering on Government Efficiency Subcommittee. The panel will focus on identifying and eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government.

The subcommittee is expected to investigate wasteful spending, explore ways to streamline federal agencies for improved efficiency, and propose solutions to cut through bureaucratic red tape.

A source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital that James Comer recently met with Vivek Ramaswamy and his incoming DOGE team.

Ramaswamy confirmed the meeting with Comer and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to Fox News Digital.

“A key step to driving greater efficiency in government is exposing the problem to the public—we are grateful that the House Oversight Committee has created a subcommittee to focus on this work,” a spokesperson for the entrepreneur and 2024 GOP presidential contender told Fox News Digital. “We look forward to working together.”

The source also said Ramaswamy is “supportive of the Oversight Committee’s endeavor and are already working together.”

Comer told the outlet that President-elect Donald Trump’s “landslide victory reflects a clear mandate to address inflationary spending that’s driving up the cost of living for hardworking Americans.”

“Wasteful government spending must end, and taxpayers deserve to see their money used effectively and efficiently,” he told the outlet.

Comer told Fox News Digital that the new Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency “will align with the Trump administration’s priorities to eliminate government waste, streamline the federal government’s operations and cut red tape that’s stifling jobs and increasing costs for the American people.”

“I look forward to working with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to deliver on these goals to Make America Great Again,” Comer said.

On the X platform, Taylor Greene acknowledged the initiative in a post featuring Comer and conservative podcaster Benny Johnson, writing: “I come from a business background and have successfully run a construction company my entire adult life. In the private sector, if you’re not doing a good job, you get fired. But for some reason, in government, bad employees—whether they’re failing to do the job they were hired to do or working in roles that are no longer needed—never get fired. This is incredibly unfair to the hard-working taxpayers of our country, and it’s about to change. I can’t wait to get to work!!”

Greene, meanwhile, told Fox News that the House Oversight Committee “is the perfect place to support the DOGE mission.”

“I’m excited to chair this new subcommittee designed to work hand in hand with President Trump, Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy and the entire DOGE team,” Greene said. “We will identify and investigate the waste, corruption and absolutely useless parts of our federal government.”

Greene added that the subcommittee will provide “transparency and truth to the American people through hearings.”

“No topic will be off the table,” she said. “The goal of DOGE is to bring accountability and GUT useless government agencies.”

The Georgia Republican said she expects the subcommittee’s work “will expose people who need to be fired.”

“The bureaucrats who don’t do their job, fail audits like in the Pentagon and don’t know where billions of dollars are going, will be getting a pink slip,” Greene said. “Chairman Comer and I are focused on delivering the mandate voters sent on Nov. 5th, and I can’t wait to get to work.”
