Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), along with fellow Democratic Sens. Patty Murray (Wash.), Ron Wyden (Ore.) and Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), will offer warnings about the reported efforts by Elon Musk and his allies at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to access the federal government’s payment system, among other actions, in a press conference Monday afternoon.
“Musk and his associates were granted access to the U.S. Treasury’s payment systems the same weekend they threatened their way into United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and seized Office of Personnel Management (OPM) computer systems,” a release announcing the press conference said.
The senators also said Musk and DOGE are “abusing the Treasury’s payment system to illegally impound funds.”
The event is scheduled for 3:45 p.m. EST.
