Sources: The U.S. Department of Efficiency has ended its work at the SEC

Trump's Department of Government Effectiveness (DOGE) has ended its work at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and will withdraw from the agency this week, two people familiar with the matter said. The department was originally led by billionaire Musk, and the organization has dominated mass layoffs across the federal government since Trump took office in January. Reuters has previously reported that at the SEC, DOGE employees have mainly focused on cutting contracts and then turned to pushing for deregulation. It is reported that Eliezer Mishory, who oversees DOGE's work at the SEC, was DOGE's only representative at the SEC in recent months, and he has ended his job. An SEC spokesperson said the agency could not comment because of the government shutdown. (Kim Ten)
