EPA has been pressed to reveal what access Musk’s team has at the agency.
In a letter last week to Administrator Lee Zeldin, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, a watchdog group, called on him to publicly disclose what agency databases are open to DOGE. EPA holds sensitive personal and financial data, including confidential business information, or CBI, submitted by companies as required by law.
“It is a crime for EPA employees to disclose CBI information to people without proper clearance,” said PEER Executive Director Tim Whitehouse in the letter.
