DOGE Data Breach Probe Launched After Whistleblower Report | JQJO

The National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) inspector general is investigating claims by a whistleblower, Daniel Berulis, regarding the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) access to sensitive NLRB data. Following NPR's reporting on Berulis' disclosure, which detailed DOGE's alleged unauthorized access and disabling of tracking measures, the House Oversight Committee and numerous Democrats expressed concern. The investigation was confirmed after the NLRB denied records requests citing an open investigatory file. DOGE's actions are further scrutinized due to more than a dozen federal court cases alleging unlawful access to sensitive data by DOGE staff across various federal agencies.
