Several top Democrats have questioned the IRS on whether the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has accessed taxpayer information amid reports about the organization’s activity in recent days.
In an “urgent demand” letter to the IRS’s acting director, Douglas O’Donnell, on Feb. 17, Sens. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) asked for “a list of all DOGE team members currently employed at the IRS,” whether the tax collection agency had signed any agreements with DOGE, and whether DOGE had gained access to the IRS’s systems.
