CNN reported that the Trump administration has fired members of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) privacy team, which oversees security clearances for federal workers. This took place following a Freedom of Information Act request related to Elon Musk's security clearance. The dismissals were confirmed in a communication stating that the entire privacy team had been let go. Along with them, members of OPM's communications staff and those handling FOIA requests were also terminated. The ramifications of these firings coincide with Musk's controversial access to sensitive government information through his role as a senior advisor in the White House.
In response to the reporters' filing on Elon Musk's security clearance details, the network received an email that read, 'Good luck with that, they just fired the whole privacy team.'
