According to an article in the Washington Post, Acting Treasury Secretery David Lebryk is retiring after the confirmation of Trump appointee, Scott Bessent to the role. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/01/31/elon-musk-treasury-department-payment-systems/
During his tenure at the Treasury Department, Mr. Lebryk pushed back on DOGE surrogates who tried to gain access to sensitive Treasury Department government payment systems run by the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, which makes payments to millions of Americans including Social Security and Medicare beneficiaries. I am concerned that with his departure, the sensitive information of Americans that is contained in these databases may become available to unauthorized individuals, including Elon Musk and his DOGE initiative and unauthorized government officials and staffers. Musk is especially a concern as a national security threat due to his connections to China.
Please look into this urgent issue as soon as possible, and safeguard our information. Thank you.
