Elizabeth Warren and others urge investigation over ‘clear conflict of interest and potential criminal violation’
Employees of Elon Musk’s DOGE own lucrative stock in companies that stand to directly benefit from their work gutting federal agencies, Democratic senators have alleged.
The potential ethics violations merit an investigation by the justice department and other oversight bodies, urges a letter co-authored by senators Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Ron Wyden of Oregon and Jack Reed of Rhode Island and obtained by the Guardian.
Recent media reports have alleged that their actions aligned with the financial interests of the companies in which they held stock. This could constitute violations of an ethics law that prohibits federal employees from participating in matters in which they have a personal financial interest. A wilful violation of this law carries penalties including fines and imprisonment.
That was the ENTIRE POINT of DOGE
Silly Elizabeth Warren! Has nobody informed her that rules and laws no longer apply to Republicans? Even if they did the Pardoner-in-chief will make sure they don’t.
I am waiting for the day the start cutting democratic party ability to inside trading. That’s when they will start making noise but it will be too late.
Pam Bondi: lol who do you think I am? You’re confusing me with someone who gives a shit about what "our side* does. The law only applies to you.
God I’d vote for anyone that can prove they’re going in to clean house and be held accountable. The sense of justice around here is sickening.
That archaic stock market needs to go. How many times can it be screwed over by the rich manipulators before value means nothing?
Ooh, concern! The ruling fascist regime has had it now!
Well the dems would know.
