The top House Democrat overseeing education and labor policy is demanding more information on the Department of Government Efficiency’s access to sensitive information and agency databases.
Rep. Bobby Scott, the ranking member of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, has written to the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Labor raising allegations of possible violations of the Privacy Act of 1974, according to copies of the letters dated Feb. 21 reviewed by NOTUS.
Scott is calling on the Trump administration to outline a “detailed description of the agency databases DOGE has sought, been granted, or accessed,” as well as any sensitive data they have potentially viewed and what safety precautions have been put in place to ensure that DOGE is staying in accordance with the law.
