• Summary: On Wednesday, Energy Secretary Chris Wright «granted access to DOGE representative Luke Farritor – a 23-year-old former SpaceX intern – even over objections from members of the department's general counsel and chief information offices [...]. The DOE chief information office is the department's IT and cybersecurity office. [/] Members of the general counsel and chief information offices "said this is a bad idea" because Farritor hadn't had a standard background investigation needed to access the department's system, one of the people told CNN. "He's not cleared to be in DOE, on our systems. None of those things have been done."»
