After some back and forth in court and with reporters, the White House finally revealed the name of the administrator of the Department of Government Efficiency — and it’s not Elon Musk.
The White House press office Tuesday said that Amy Gleason, who had not been publicly mentioned in relation to DOGE leadership previously, is acting director.
Her LinkedIn indicates she is a former senior adviser at the U.S. Digital Service, which is now DOGE. She worked for USDS during the first Trump administration. The news that she is leading DOGE was first reported by the Washington Examiner on Tuesday afternoon; the White House confirmed to NOTUS that Gleason is the “acting administrator.”
