Mississippi State Auditor Shad White (R) is reportedly going to release on Monday information his office found about a mountain of financial waste.
White told Fox News he and his team have been working on the project for a few years, the outlet reported on Monday.
He said the work President Donald Trump and the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to uncover government fraud and waste has been an encouragement to his office.
“So people are starting to look closely at what we’ve uncovered. In our time in the state auditor’s office, my team and I have uncovered about $400 million worth of waste,” he stated, adding the information will be available in an 800-page report.
In a video interview with Fox, White said officials digging into government programs related to social issues in his state have found that lots of money is allotted to programs meant to serve the poorer citizens. However, he said those funds “end up getting wasted.”
