The U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Ed Martin, has initiated an investigation into threats against employees of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk. Martin's office confirmed the inquiry following reports of theft and threats made against DOGE staff. The investigation comes amid allegations that DOGE members have made unauthorized changes to sensitive systems, potentially locking civil servants out of their accounts. The Justice Department is also looking into the threats directed at DOGE employees, with Martin emphasizing a commitment to protect workers from intimidation. Additionally, a U.S. Treasury Threat Intelligence Analysis has categorized DOGE staff as 'insider threats.' Elon Musk did not attend a recent JPMorgan conference in person due to these threats, which he described as serious in nature. Martin's letter to Musk stated, 'We will pursue any and all legal action against anyone who impedes your work or threatens your people.'
