Tap title to read story
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is assigning two staffers to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) following a whistleblower's allegation of sensitive data removal. An email reveals DOGE requested information, but also asked for personally identifiable information to be removed. NLRB officials initially denied DOGE system access, but the whistleblower's disclosure, including evidence of account creation and data transfer, contradicts this. The incident has sparked concern, with Rep. Gerry Connolly calling for an investigation into potential legal violations. DOGE's access to federal data and its handling of this information remain under scrutiny.
