(DCNF)—Republican strategist Scott Jennings tore into a CNN panel Tuesday, accusing them of peddling unproven allegations against Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Chairman Elon Musk.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday giving DOGE additional oversight over hiring government employees, slightly more than three weeks after he established the department within hours of taking office on Jan. 20. Jennings went off after panelist Bakari Sellers claimed there was a lack of transparency from the panel, accusing Musk of having agency inspectors general investigating him fired and giving “friends of his” access to government contracts.
“You guys are way out over your skis with accusations and innuendo,” Jennings said. “You have no way — I mean, what you’re essentially alleging would be the biggest corruption in any of our lifetimes. You have no way in the world of making those accusations in a credible way, but yet you’re out here doing it.”
“Just to clarify, because I also think you‘re accusing me of saying that these things are happening, I‘m just saying —” “CNN Newsnight” host Abby Phillip said before Jennings cut her off. “No, did you hear what they just said? They literally just accused Elon Musk of the biggest corruption we’ve ever seen.”
The Trump administration announced plans for layoffs that targeted over 95% of the United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) workforce Thursday, The New York Times reported. Democratic members of Congress joined protests outside the headquarters of USAID and the Treasury Department Feb. 4 after Department of Government Efficiency Co-Chairman Elon Musk announced plans to close down USAID.
The Trump administration is appealing injunctions imposed by federal judges targeting DOGE’s efforts to oversee federal spending.
“Scott, what I said was that Elon Musk’s companies were being investigated by the government. The people investigating him have been fired, their offices disbanded,” Phillip said. “Those are both facts. So the question is, how do we know that Elon is not benefiting from it? And the answer is, we don’t know. You even would acknowledge that we don’t know.”
“But if you‘re going to accuse me of that, please, Scott, tell me what I said that was incorrect,” Sellers said, prompting Jennings to respond, “You just said that Elon Musk is working at the behest of the president in what would amount to the biggest corruption scheme to enrich himself that we’ve ever seen.”
United States District Judge John J. McConnell Jr. of the District of Rhode Island, a contributor to Democratic causes before being named to the federal bench during the Obama administration, threatened Trump with criminal contempt charges over the spending freeze Trump ordered.
“I think you‘re out over your skis. I don’t think you know that,” Jennings said as Sellers asked, “Was he under investigation by the FAA?”
“I think you guys are overblowing the whole thing,” Jennings said.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
