Report Finding $125 Billion In Waste At Pentagon ‘Raises Serious Questions,' Says Top Democrat

WASHINGTON ― A damning new report exposing that the Pentagon buried a study finding the department was wasting billions of dollars on business operations has enraged Senate Democrats.

The Washington Post published a piece on Monday revealing details of a study that the Defense Department commissioned to help identify potential ways to save money and make its administrative workings more efficient. But the article says leaders kept the study secret when they found the department was wasting more than they had realized, and did not follow through with a plan to help the Pentagon cut costs by $125 billion over five years.
