Musk, DOGE Accused of Largest US Data Breach; AG Seeks Removal
Connecticut Attorney General William Tong announced a lawsuit against the Trump administration, joining nineteen other states in challenging Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) access to sensitive personal data within the Treasury Department. The lawsuit alleges this access, granted by the Trump administration, constitutes the largest data breach in US history, violating federal law and raising serious concerns about data misuse. Tong aims to remove Musk from his DOGE position, arguing his appointment bypassed Senate confirmation. Simultaneously, Connecticut is pursuing legal action against a proposed federal funding freeze and the revocation of birthright citizenship.
