Convicted felon Trump has given Elon Musk, who is unelected, unvetted, and unconfirmed by the Senate, unprecedented access to the US Government. He is attempting a mass takeover of federal agencies, going as far as to bar people from entering federal buildings.
Now, DOGE has gained access to Treasury payment systems, sensitive taxpayer personal information, and even installed an outside server at OPM, putting the American people and our government in danger of cybersecurity and hacking problems. To be clear, it is unlawful for Musk and his minions – non-government employees without security clearances – to have this much access. Meanwhile, my Republican colleagues are blocking any oversight.
The American people deserve answers.
At best, this is gross negligence and complete incompetence by the Trump administration. At worst, Trump knows full well what he is doing and has signed off on putting citizens at risk of foreign adversaries like China and Russia gaining access to our sensitive data.
Shontel Brown is proud to be elected as the Congresswoman for Ohio’s 11th District. She has spent the last decade serving the people of Ohio and building coalitions.
