Elon Musk and the staff of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) reportedly received a letter from the interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, which was published on Friday.
In the letter, the attorney vowed to take action against anyone who threatened them.
“Thank you for the referral of individuals and networks who appear to be stealing government property and/or threatening government employees. After your referral, as is my practice, I will begin an inquiry.” Attorney Ed Martin wrote in the letter.
“Please let me reiterate again: If people are discovered to have broken the law or even acted simply unethically, we will investigate them and we will chase them to the end of the Earth to hold them accountable. We will not rest or cease in this. No one should abuse American taxpayer dollars nor American taxpayer workers. [No one] is above the Law.” he continued.
Martin had already sent a letter to Musk on Monday, following his meeting with the DOGE team over the weekend. The letter that was sent on Friday is a continuation of that message.
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), along with a number of other organizations, wrote a letter to Martin in which they expressed their concerns regarding his pledges to punish individuals who work against DOGE.
“I recognize that some of the staff at DOGE has been targeted publicly. At this time, I ask that you utilize me and my staff to assist in protecting the DOGE work and the DOGE workers. Any threats, confrontations, or other actions in any way that impact their work may break numerous laws.” Martin noted in the earlier letter. “
