The person the White House says is leading DOGE has also been working at HHS
(Politico) The person the White House identified last month as the leader of DOGE — despite public evidence that Elon Musk is calling the shots — has been working simultaneously at the Department of Health and Human Services since February.
The Trump administration acknowledged Amy Gleason’s dual role in a court filing the Justice Department initially attempted to submit under seal, until a judge ordered its public release this week. The filing shows that Gleason, despite claiming responsibility as DOGE’s leader, was detailed to HHS last month and formally hired by the department as a “consultant/expert” on March 4, while retaining her status as a DOGE employee as well.
Gleason’s work at HHS, while purportedly also leading DOGE, came during some of DOGE’s busiest and most chaotic weeks, when the agency was overseeing the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development and helping slash jobs and personnel across the federal government. The White House identified her as administrator on Feb. 25, after weeks of refusing to say who held the top role at the office.
