American Oversight has warned Elon Musk and the proposed government efficiency department (Doge) about potential violations of the Federal Records Act due to the use of encrypted messaging apps. The watchdog expresses concerns about conflicts of interest, given Musk's business ties and Doge's impact on federal agencies. It demands the preservation of communications relating to Doge's activities, suggesting these records are crucial for transparency regarding government efficiency efforts spearheaded by unelected individuals. The organization has reached out to various government departments emphasizing the importance of accountability in administration actions.
Efforts are clearly underway to conceal information that would expose the Trump administration's plans to gut critical services that benefit the American people.
American Oversight argues that all written communications related to Doge activities... are federal records that must be preserved.
The warnings stem from reports that members of Doge are using encrypted messaging apps, which could hinder the preservation of official records.
The Federal Records Act requires agencies to preserve federal government records documenting their activities, decisions and policies.
