The White House has appointed Amy Gleason as the acting administrator of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has been pushing for budget cuts and employee reductions across government agencies. Despite the influence of Elon Musk, the administration claims he is a senior adviser rather than an actual DOGE employee. Gleason has extensive experience in health care technology and previously worked on the federal response to COVID-19. Controversy surrounds DOGE as more than 20 members of the former digital service resigned, criticizing Musk's agenda to dismantle essential public services.
"The White House has insisted that Musk is overseeing the effort as a senior adviser to President Donald Trump, not a DOGE employee."
"A government lawyer on Monday told a judge that he didn't know who that person was, and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt had declined to identify the person earlier Tuesday in a press briefing."
