Urgent Concern Regarding Political Interference in Treasury Operations

I am writing to express my serious concern regarding the recent resignation of David A. Lebryk, a senior Treasury official, following the alarming actions of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This situation demands immediate attention and action. It is deeply troubling that DOGE sought access to the Treasury Department’s highly sensitive payment systems—systems responsible for managing trillions of dollars in Social Security, Medicare benefits, and other federal payments. These systems are vital to the financial stability of millions of Americans and must remain under the control of experienced, nonpartisan professionals. Any attempt to politicize or interfere with these operations poses a grave risk to both the nation’s economy and public trust. The resignation of Mr. Lebryk, a dedicated public servant with over 36 years of experience, after resisting these demands, is unacceptable. His departure raises serious concerns about the increasing influence of politically aligned entities like DOGE within essential government functions. This is not merely a personnel issue—it is a matter of preserving the integrity and independence of our federal financial operations. I urge you to take immediate action to investigate this situation thoroughly and ensure that the Treasury’s payment systems remain secure and free from political interference. The American people deserve integrity, transparency and accountability in how their government functions.
