The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) inspector general is investigating the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) regarding its access to agency email data systems. This inquiry follows concerns raised by lawmakers about potential cybersecurity threats and privacy violations stemming from DOGE's efforts to transform federal systems under the leadership of Elon Musk. The acting inspector general indicated that the investigation will assess whether any emerging threats have arisen from DOGE's operations. Lawmakers, particularly from the Democratic party, have expressed their demand for transparency regarding DOGE's access to sensitive data, including taxpayer information, and have criticized Republican colleagues for opposing inquiries into the matter. The investigation is part of a broader scrutiny of how DOGE manages federal data and the implications for privacy and security.

There is no reason Republicans should oppose getting answers to reasonable questions about Elon Musk and DOGE’s access to our private data unless they have something to hide. I will continue to advocate for protecting your data, even if Republicans won’t. https://t.co/j8JRgktSlP

Every single Ways & Means Republican voted today to block transparency and protect DOGE's access to your sensitive information. Why are they so afraid to defend the rule of law and stand up to President Trump and Elon Musk? https://t.co/glxHEOll6X
