Photographer: Stefani Reynolds/BloombergWelcome back to FOIA Files! On Jan. 29, a couple of weeks before Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (better known by its acronym, DOGE) began gutting the federal workforce, I tried to figure out who’d been hired to help execute the plans. I filed a FOIA request with the Office of Personnel Management, the government's human resources agency, asking for a list of all individuals hired since Jan. 20, along with their title and job description. I just received that document—keep reading to see what I was able to glean from it. If you’re not already getting FOIA Files in your inbox, sign up here.
Heads up, I’ll be discussing the state of FOIA in a Bloomberg Live Q&A with Edward Ludlow on Friday, May 9 at 1pm EDT. Send me any FOIA-related questions in advance at liveqa@bloomberg.net.
