Report Excerpt

In a court filing Friday, Justice Department officials said SSA representatives told them a recent review found that in March, after a temporary restraining order by the Maryland judge blocking DOGE’s access to SSA went into effect, an unnamed political advocacy group contacted two members of the agency’s DOGE team “with a request to analyze state voter rolls that the advocacy group had acquired.”

The Justice Department said one of the two DOGE team members signed a “Voter Data Agreement” with the advocacy group. That person sent an executed agreement to the advocacy group on March 24 — four days after the temporary restraining order was issued.

The Justice Department said it was unclear whether any personal information was given to the political group.
