Senate Democrat Calls For Investigation Into Elon Musk's Government Access

Interview with U.S. Senator Chris Murphy, in Washington

Chris Murphy from Connecticut, is urging an independent watchdog investigation into the agreement that allows Elon Musk and his aides to access sensitive or classified government information. The letter obtained by a source reveals that Sen. Murphy is concerned about the legality and scope of the arrangement.

Murphy has requested the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to look into the Trump administration's decision to designate Musk and his associates as 'special government employees.' The senator emphasized that this title should not grant them unrestricted access to government data and servers.
