District of Columbia U.S. Attorney Ed Martin warned Elon Musk about threats toward DOGE staff.
“I recognize that some of the staff at DOGE have been targeted publicly,” wrote Martin. “At this time, I ask that you utilize me and my staff to assist in protecting the DOGE work and the DOGE workers.”
Martin added: “Any threats, confrontations, or other actions in any way that impact their work may break numerous laws.”
The letter could possibly be about a journalist who doxxed young men at DOGE, leading to threats on Reddit.
The controversy over Musk and DOGE exploded late last week when President Donald Trump’s administration shut down USAID’s website, shut down the headquarters, and put some senior staffers on leave due to DOGE’s audit.
As Leslie pointed out in her article, “Americans are concerned it has become a slush fund for pet projects and policies that fail to promote the best interests of this country.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that he is the current Acting Director of USAID.
“Let me assure you this: We will pursue any and all legal action against anyone who impedes your work or threatens your people,” continued Martin. “We will not act like the previous administration who looked the other way as the Antifa and BLM rioters as well as thugs with guns trashed our capital city.
Martin promised Musk that the DOJ “will protect DOGE and other workers no matter what.
The attorney also told Musk that the DOJ “indicted an economist who worked at the Fed for economic espionage for the Communist Chinese.”
“Please be very aware that there are those who are acting against our American people in every way,” said Martin.
Martin relayed to Musk that his door is always open, encouraging him to “refer to us any questionable conduct or details” that he finds or notices.
