EXCLUSIVE: The Department of Homeland Security announced that $12 billion in savings have been made as a result of a contract review process and other cuts over the past two hundred days.
DHS says Secretary Kristi Noem is personally reviewing and signing off on or declining any contract over $100,000, resulting in a $10.7 billion reduction, the department says. She’s reviewed over 5,000 contracts and DHS says decisions are made within a day.
"It is stunning that for years, career bureaucrats were unilaterally signing off on hundred-million-dollar contracts leading to massive waste, fraud, and abuse of U.S. taxpayer dollars," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated.
