The Treasury Department reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding the federal payments system amidst backlash over Elon Musk's team's access. In a letter to Congress, they stated they are reviewing the system for payment integrity, expanding an initiative from the Biden administration. The situation gained attention following the resignation of official David Lebryk, who opposed Musk's access. Protests erupted outside the Treasury building, and key senators called for investigations, voicing concerns about how Musk's team gained access and the implications of this involvement for government finances.
Treasury has no higher obligation than managing the government's finances on behalf of the American people, and its payments system is critical to that process.
The process by which Mr. Musk's team obtained access to these systems is troubling as are the implications, they wrote.
