DOGE’s access to the agency’s payment systems came after Treasury’s acting Deputy Secretary David Lebryk resigned from his position at Treasury after more than 30 years of service. The Washington Post on Friday reported that Lebryk resigned from his position after Musk and his DOGE organization requested access to sensitive Treasury data.

DOGE has gained access to payment systems at the Treasury Department and Centers for Medicaid and Medicare this week, drawing outrage from Democrats.
