Senior Democrats are calling for an investigation into potential national security breaches created by the acquisition of certain federal agencies Elon Musk through his self-styled “government efficiency” (DOGE).
In a letter released Thursday, members of the House Oversight Committee said Musk and his operatives were forced to take confidential information and confidential personal data at agencies including the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the US Treasury Department and the US. He says he is worried about illegal access. International Development Organization (USAID).
“There is no evidence that either he, or his peers working under Monica on the ‘Doge team’, has the right to access the government system. There is also no evidence that it has undergone proper review to ensure the safety of taxpayers and governments. The data said.
They are calling on these agencies and other sub-inspectors, including the Education Department, the General Services Department and Small Business Management, to investigate potential national security breaches involving Musk’s team.
“We deeply believe that access to unauthorized systems can occur across the federal government and pose a major threat to the personal privacy of all Americans and the national security of our country. I’m concerned,” the letter continued.
Democrats began to oppose the attitudes of the US government system, and as judges, the Unofficial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)’s ability to access the US Treasury’s highly sensitive payment system, allegedly attempted by Musk’s fellows. This development arises when it is restricted to the above. Used to block payments for USAID.
The ruling was the first time the courts have had Doge restricted, which has been delved into the federal bureaucracy over the past two weeks, pushing Usaidand Sowing Chaos to close the civil servants.
It came in response to a union representing federal employees accusing the Treasury of illegally sharing personal employee data with DOGE. The verdict was dubbed Doge Associates, two people with access to the payment system, but on a read-only basis.
At the same time, new polls suggest that even some Republicans are pissed off by Musk’s wrecking ball, which aims to become more federal agencies, including the Labor Department.
The number of Republicans hoping Musk and Kudji will have “many” influence in the Trump administration has dropped significantly, according to an economist/Yougov poll conducted this week.
The same poll soon after Trump’s November election victory revealed that Republicans’ enthusiasm for the role of masks reached 47%.
The anxiety also appears to have spread to many Republican senators who have begun to warn the tight grips of their masks. The billionaire moved USAID to the shutter, accessing the US Treasury payment system and workers’ personal data, and urged at least temporarily a lawsuit and agreement from Justice Department lawyers.
On Wednesday, Doge agents spread to several more government agencies seeking access to data, the Washington Post reported that it includes the headquarters of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
On Wednesday night, the Doge team visited the U.S. Department of Labor, saying that inexperienced coders and engineers would include a young 19-year-old engineer. Earlier this week, Doge workers entered at least two offices of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to change personnel and access the IT system.
Meanwhile, the next big target for masks appears to be the Ministry of Education. Trump has repeatedly said he wants to close it. Similar to actions taken by other federal agencies and departments, employees are told not to come to work or be left on vacation, and dozens of workers have been forced to do so by government email accounts and other He was locked out of the computer system.

The Trump administration set a deadline Thursday night to help nearly two million federal employees surrender to the acquisition or face the risk of being fired without compensation, but critics say They say there is no guarantee that people who accept it will see the money either. On Thursday, a federal judge suspended the deadline until Monday’s hearing.
Democrats say that masks’ invasion into the federal government through informal agencies without constitutional duties or congressional oversight is equivalent to a coup. Chuck Schumer, a minority leader in the Democratic Senate, said Tuesday that an unelected “shadow government” is making hostile takeovers and taking Trump’s authority.
“Whatever Doge is doing, it certainly isn’t what democracy looks like, or how it looked in the country’s grand history. Because democracy doesn’t work in the shadows. Democracy does not cut down on the rule of law,” Schumer said.
In the White House’s clear efforts to cover mask activities, SpaceX and Tesla founders have not been enslaved at Trump’s direction to eradicate inefficiencies and waste in government spending He said he was designated as a “special government employee.”
Trump himself told reporters, “We can’t do anything without our approval, we won’t do anything.”
But anxiety has increased with the rise in litigation among elected officials. On Wednesday night, Justice Department lawyers agreed to an order that would temporarily restrict access to the Treasury Department’s payment system. It follows lawsuits from union members and retirees who alleged that Musk’s team violated federal privacy laws.
