WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency initiative, or DOGE, has wrapped up work at the Securities and Exchange Commission and will exit the agency this week, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Thursday.

The group, originally led by billionaire Elon Musk, has overseen massive job cuts across the federal government since Trump, a Republican, took office in January. At the SEC, DOGE staff mostly focused on slashing contracts before turning to pushing for de-regulation, Reuters has previously reported.
