DOGE Team Investigated Voter Rolls, Trump Administration Admits Misuse of Social Security Data

A team from the Department of Elections (DOGE) worked with a political group to investigate voter rolls, according to an admission by the Trump administration. The investigation was conducted in collaboration with a political organization.

The Trump administration has acknowledged that DOGE employees may have misused Social Security data. A court filing revealed that two DOGE staffers accessed and shared personal Social Security information.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) stated that two DOGE staff members may have violated the Hatch Act, which prohibits federal employees from engaging in partisan activities. The administration’s admission comes after an investigation into the misuse of Social Security data by DOGE employees.

In a court filing, it was reported that DOGE employees shared personal Social Security information with others. This has raised concerns about the potential misuse of sensitive data.

The Trump administration’s admission highlights the need for greater oversight and accountability in the use of government data. The investigation into the misuse of Social Security data is ongoing.
