Two security officials from USAID were placed on leave by the Trump administration after refusing access to classified material for Elon Musk's inspection team. Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) sought to evaluate federal agencies but lacked the necessary security clearance. This incident reflects ongoing tensions in the Trump administration's approach to federal work and highlights Musk's controversial initiatives in reforming government operations, which include proposals for cutting programs and firing federal employees. Similar actions by DOGE at the Treasury Department indicate a broader agenda against government bureaucracy.
