The news follows the resignation of Treasury's acting deputy secretary, David Lebryk, who reportedly left after Musk's team requested access to sensitive data.
The Department of Government Efficiency, run by President Trump's billionaire advisor and Tesla CEO Elon Musk , has gained access to sensitive Treasury data including Social Security and Medicare customer payment systems, according to two people familiar with the situation.
The news comes after Treasury's acting deputy secretary, David Lebryk, resigned from his position after more than 30 years of service.
