Treasury watchdog begins audit of Musk DOGE team's access to federal government's payment system

The Treasury Department's Office of Inspector General has begun an audit concerning access provided to Elon Musk's team, known as DOGE, following concerns raised by Democratic senators.
The audit will investigate Musk's claims of alleged fraudulent payments and review the past two years of the federal government's payment system transactions, according to Loren J. Sciurba, the Treasury's deputy inspector general.
There are apprehensions regarding potential conflicts of interest as Tom Krause, a Musk ally, was appointed to perform duties as the Fiscal Assistant Secretary while retaining his CEO position at Cloud Software Group.
Democratic senators, led by Elizabeth Warren and Ron Wyden, have highlighted concerns about inconsistent statements regarding the team's access to the payment system.
