Union groups have taken legal action against the US Treasury, accusing it of unlawfully granting access to sensitive information to Elon Musk's team.
“Unlawful” Data Sharing with Musk-Led Task Force
The AFL-CIO filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking to stop the systematic disclosure of confidential data, arguing against exposure to Musk and D.O.G.E. The report highlights that the Trump administration task force gained access to vital Treasury databases, raising concerns about privacy breaches.
Political Reactions and Subsequent Resignations
Senator Ron Wyden expressed alarm, highlighting that unauthorized access risks system disruptions. Acting Deputy Secretary David Lebryk resigned, citing the requests for access to financial infrastructure.
About D.O.G.E. and its Mission
D.O.G.E. was established to cut wasteful spending and unnecessary regulations. Announced by Trump, it was to be co-led by Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk, though Ramaswamy left prior to its launch.
The situation around D.O.G.E. and access to Treasury data is escalating, necessitating further public and political scrutiny.
