A U.S. prosecutor appointed by Trump has warned of criminal sanctions against those obstructing Elon Musk’s government efficiency team. The move follows reports of officials resisting access to sensitive data, as Musk leads an effort to reduce the federal workforce and streamline operations.
A federal prosecutor appointed by President Donald Trump has issued a warning against any interference in Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), signaling the administration’s strong backing of the initiative.
Edward Martin, interim U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C., posted a letter on platform X, stating that actions to threaten or impede DOGE employees could violate multiple laws and result in legal action.
Musk, who is leading an effort to cut federal government operations, responded with a thank you.
The warning comes after reports that career government officials attempted to block DOGE employees from accessing sensitive data. Two top security officials at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) were removed after resisting DOGE’s entry into secure areas. At the Treasury Department, an official unsuccessfully tried to prevent the team from gaining access to the agency’s payment system, according to reports.
The Trump administration has intensified efforts to exert control over the Justice Department, with Martin previously overseeing the dismissal of all pending criminal cases related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. His public support for Trump and criticism of political opponents have drawn attention, marking a shift from the traditional neutrality of U.S. attorneys.
Musk, the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and X, has already initiated sweeping buyouts across federal agencies, pushing forward his vision for government downsizing and efficiency reforms.
