The Donald Trump administration made a major admission in court. Officials revealed that staff members working on Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) had unauthorized access to sensitive data held by the Social Security Administration (SSA).
According to HuffPost, the Justice Department filed a “notice of corrections for the record”. The document stated that the administration had found actions by the SSA DOGE Team that were “potentially outside of SSA policy.” The filing admitted that officials had previously told the court that DOGE team members had no access to personal identifying information. That statement was false.
