A DOGE staffer broke Treasury policy by emailing unencrypted personal data to two other members of the Trump administration.

Marko Elez , a former employee at Elon Musk’s X and SpaceX companies, resigned in early February over racist social media posts that were linked to him.

The Department of Government Efficiency has been sued by 19 state attorneys general over the staffer's access to the Treasury 's payments system.
