Treasury Department Access Investigation: The Marko Elez Case

New court documents detail the actions of 25-year-old Marko Elez, a DOGE employee, within Treasury Department payment systems. The documents extensively describe the systems Elez accessed, security precautions implemented to limit his access, and the changes he made. Contrary to prior government statements, Elez briefly held write access to a sensitive database, granted in error for a single day. No evidence suggests he altered data. The incident spurred questions about DOGE employee access, leading to a lawsuit seeking to restrict their access to Treasury systems.
