U.S. Marshals Waived Training For Musk’s Security Detail
Newly released government emails reveal that members of Elon Musk’s private security team were deputized as federal agents last year, despite some lacking required training and law enforcement experience. This decision, approved by the U.S. Marshals Service at the White House’s request, allowed Musk’s guards to carry weapons in federal buildings during his tenure as a senior adviser to President Trump. The Marshals Service granted waivers for these guards, who did not meet standard eligibility requirements, a move that occurred amidst ongoing scrutiny of the agency’s deputization practices.
