She is pressing the just confirmed US Treasury Secretary tp report on what is going on in HIS Dept.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Monday demanding to know what access Elon Musk was given to the federal payments system and what safeguards were implemented to protect Americans’ private data and prevent abuses.
“I write regarding a disturbing report that — in one of your first acts after your confirmation as Treasury secretary — you have given Elon Musk and his surrogates ‘full access’ to the federal government’s critical payment systems, which includes the sensitive personal information of millions of Americans,” Warren wrote in a letter to Bessent, whom the Senate confirmed last week….

Warren warned “it is extraordinarily dangerous to meddle with the critical systems that process trillions of dollars of transactions each year.”
She said she was “alarmed” by reports that Bessent reportedly “sidelined” an official responsible for managing the extraordinary measures the Treasury Department needs to extend federal borrowing authority, which formally expired last month.
Treasury’s highest-ranking career official, David Lebryk, left the department last week after reportedly clashing with Musk over access to the payments system.
Warren says she wants answers about Bessent’s role in what she called “this security and management failure” and about “How you intend to protect the integrity of the federal government’s financial operations after handing over the systems to Mr. Musk’s team.”…
Note…
Trump has a bad habit of NOT taking care of those who do his bidding…
