![1. Under what circumstances were Mr. Musk and members of his team granted access to the Treasury Department's federal payment systems?
2. What specific systems were accessed?
3. Which individuals at the Department provided Mr. Musk and members of his team with access?
4. Did the White House or Secretary Bessent place any undue pressure on career officials to grant this access?
5. Did the individuals who were granted access to these systems have appropriate training and clearances?
6. What information in these systems have these individuals accessed, what have they done with it, and what was their rationale?
7. What laws, rules, regulations, or policies are in place to protect privacy with regard to these payment systems, including the protection of tax data under 26 U.S.C. 6103? Were any of these laws, rules, regulations, or policies breached?
8. What laws, rules, regulations, or policies are in place to protect economic and national security (such as protecting programs or individuals from missed payments or preventing those with access to key information in these systems from sharing it with foreign adversaries) with regard to these payment systems? Were any of these laws, rules, regulations, or policies breached?
9. Once obtaining access to these systems, Mr. Musk or others in the Trump Administration may have been able to illegally “enact a political agenda”11 by “unilaterally restrict[ing] disbursement of money approved for specific purposes by Congress.”12 Were protections in place to prevent these abuses?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreierse3jfvh5xrlliywlhogj5334haii47oidhv54lsatbtdgur35y@jpeg)

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.
