Key Points

  • Congress is asking the President to hand over documents and recordings about how a group called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) used private Social Security records. This includes information from a master file that contains personal details for everyone with a Social Security number.
  • Lawmakers want to know if this group shared private citizen data with outside organizations that were trying to analyze voter lists or change election results. They are also looking into whether sensitive files were sent to other government agencies without following proper security rules.
  • The request focuses on whether the group used private servers or unsecure methods to move government files. It also asks if the group ignored specific court orders from 2025 that were meant to protect this private information from being used improperly.
  • If approved, the President would have 14 days to provide all relevant emails, call logs, and audit trails to the House of Representatives to ensure that personal information is being handled legally and safely.
