"All of this money was drawn with zero documentation," DOGE wrote in a post on X.

DOGE highlighted that the Trump administration is implementing more thorough requirements for dishing out the $4 billion left from the funds, requiring that all grantees must "provide receipts for every purchase before funding is released."

While the Trump administration reworks the Department of Education's issuing of funds, the revelations about where money has been spent have sparked outrage from local leaders and education groups across the country.

DOGE has taken specific aim at cutting spending by the Department of Education (DoEd), slashing $370 million in taxpayer dollars being spent on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) just last week.

The department terminated 70 DEI training grants within the department, including one that funded training for teachers to "engage in ongoing learning and self-reflection to confront their own biases and racism, and develop asset-based anti-racist mindsets," DOGE said.
