Senator warns of national security risks after Elon Musk’s DOGE granted ‘full access’ to sensitive Treasury systems


U.S. senator says Musk's access to Treasury systems represents a "national security risk."

The authorization comes following a standoff earlier in the week, in which the Treasury’s highest-ranking career official left the department following requests from Musk’s team for access to the system. One of the DOGE representatives granted access is said to be Tom Krause, the chief executive of Cloud Software Group, which owns Citrix and several other companies. Reuters reported on Friday that Musk’s representatives locked out career civil servants from computer systems, which contain the personal data and human resources files of millions of federal employees.
