US stock futures dip as Trump’s firing of Cook sparks Fed independence fears
Investing.com -- The US Treasury Department has granted Elon Musk’s government efficiency team, known as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), "read-only" access to its coded payment system data, according to Bloomberg News.
Jonathan Blum, Treasury’s principal deputy assistant secretary for legislative affairs, stated in a letter to Senator Ron Wyden that at least one appointee from DOGE, under Musk’s supervision, has been given top secret security clearance. The letter was dated Tuesday.
Despite the new access, the government’s payment system continues to function effectively and robustly. The work of Musk’s team has not led to any valid payment requests from government agencies being denied, as per the letter, which Bloomberg had access to.
