Watch: The White House refuses to reveal a masteer administrator during the briefing

The press spokesman for the White House, Karoline Leavitt, said on Tuesday that Elon Musk is a “special government employee” who “monitors” the Ministry of Government Efficiency or Doge, but not the administrator of the special agency, which is commissioned to tighten the federal government . Leavitt refused to “reveal” the administrator from the White House Podium, but promised to pursue the name.

The federal judges have occurred to limit the access of Doge to private data and systems or to ask whether the existence of the department is constitutional.

During a hearing from the Federal Court on Monday for a lawsuit about the access of Doge to sensitive information that was retained by the Ministry of Finance, the judge repeatedly asked a government attorney to name the administrator of Doge. The lawyer could not answer the judge's questions.

Laura Barrón-López, correspondent of the PBS News White House, asked Leavitt during a news order on Tuesday after the identity of Doge's administrator.

“Elon Musk supervises Doge,” said Leavitt.

When asked if that means that Musk was the administrator, said Leavitt: “No. Elon Musk is a special government agent ”and replied that she repeatedly answered the question of Musk's role in Doge.

“There are career officers at Doge. There are political appointments in Doge, ”said Leavitt. “We were incredibly transparent about the way Doge works.”

After the briefing on Tuesday, Amy Gleason called the White House as a reigning DOG administrator.

Shortly after his victory in 2024, the elected President Donald Trump said Musk would “lead” Doge with Vivek Ramaswamy. In court files that were submitted last week, however, the Trump government said that Musk is not a Doge employee and “has no actual or formal authority to make decisions himself”. The documents have not disclosed the name of the Doge administrator.
