Over the weekend, two high-ranking security officials at the US Agency for International Development (USAID) were placed on administrative leave following a contentious incident involving personnel from Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
According to multiple sources, DOGE personnel attempted to access systems at the USAID headquarters in Washington, DC, but were denied entry by USAID Director of Security John Voorhees and his deputy. The DOGE personnel reportedly threatened to involve law enforcement, specifically US Marshals, to gain access to security systems, personnel files, and potentially classified information.
