Sara Fischer: Musk’s Allies Seeking Treasury Access Raise ‘Alarming’ Security Concerns
This is a modal window.
RUSH EXCERPT:
FISCHER: "The last thing I‘ll note in trying to bring in a lot of Musk allies as a part of Doge, this department of government efficiency, there‘s been some concern from within the Treasury Department that CNN has reported, and others that they don‘t all have the necessary security clearances to be able to access this type of information, which is what set off a bunch of alarms, prompted some people to leave the department. That is critically important because for so long, the people who have had access to the things like payouts of trillions of dollars are people that we‘ve trusted through background checks, security clearances. The fact that Musk is coming in, bringing his allies that don‘t have these types of protocols should be very alarming to a lot of Americans."
