The Treasury Department’s Office of Inspector General says it's launching an audit of the security controls for the federal government’s payment system. That's after Democratic senators raised red flags about the access provided to Trump aide Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. The audit will also review the past two years of the system’s transactions as it relates to Musk’s assertion of “alleged fraudulent payments.” That's according to a letter from Treasury’s deputy inspector general obtained Friday by The Associated Press. The audit marks part of the broader effort led by Democratic lawmakers and federal employee unions to provide transparency about DOGE’s activities under President Donald Trump's Republican administration.
