Fox News “Special Report” host Bret Baier will air an exclusive interview with Elon Musk and DOGE members during his show’s 6pm ET time slot on Thursday, Axios has learned.
Why it matters: It will be the first time that members of DOGE have been interviewed as a group since they launched their crusade to cut trillions of dollars in federal government spending. Details of the team’s work and structure have remained mysterious.
- Musk and the DOGE members are expected to share some of what they have learned from their investigations into federal departments.
Zoom in: The interview comes after many lawmakers faced constituents in town halls who were frustrated by some DOGE spending cuts.
Zoom out: Baier’s well-watched show has grown in influence under the second Trump administration, with major interviews such as with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.
- The show has recently surpassed CBS Evening News on occasion.
