That’s according to a federal lawsuit filed Sunday against Vought by the union representing more than 1,000 current and former CFPB staffers, which contends there are “no known security constraints and zero oversight regarding the disclosure of [their] personal information to DOGE,” or Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency, which has eviscerated numerous federal agencies since Donald Trump regained the Oval Office three weeks ago.
These federal workers fear ‘blackmail’ in wake of DOGE access to their personal info There are “no known security constraints and zero oversight” preventing Elon Musk’s callow crew from obtaining and disseminating highly sensitive personnel data, according to a lawsuit the employees’ union filed Sunday.
In addition to blackmail, the suit says CFPB employees worry that the DOGE team “will get access to their reports on enforcement or supervision activities and use that information to retaliate against them.”.
In their lawsuit, the CFPB employees ask that a judge declare illegal DOGE’s access to their personnel files, and to bar them from continuing to harvest restricted data.
However, it has “acted contrary to law and regulation by granting DOGE and its members access to the records that the Bureau collects and maintains about every CFPB employee,” according to the suit.
