Resistance to Musk's government team likely broke the law, US prosecutor says

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A federal prosecutor appointed by President Donald Trump said on Monday the FBI was investigating the "targeting" of staff involved in Elon Musk's effort to slash the size of the U.S. government. Career government officials have reportedly sought to counter efforts by Musk aides working with his Department of Government Efficiency to gain access to troves of classified information without proper authorization. DOGE was announced as an ambitious effort to cut the federal workforce and slash billions in government spending, but critics say it is being used to target agencies and government programs viewed as out of step with Trump's conservative and more isolationist "America First" agenda.
