The Social Security Administration said in a Jan. 16 court filing that “DOGE” employees tried to hand over sensitive personal records to an unnamed advocacy group seeking to “overturn election results” and sent confidential information on about 1,000 Americans to Elon Musk’s workers.

Washington, D.C. - Following new revelations that ‘DOGE’ employees stole sensitive records from Social Security and schemed to hand them over to a MAGA-aligned group trying to overturn elections, House Social Security Subcommittee Ranking Member John B. Larson (CT-01), Rep. Steven Horsford (NV-04), and Rep.
