  • A day after NPR broke the story on a whistleblower's concerns about Doge's activities at his federal agency,

  • several Doge representatives visited that agency's headquarters.

  • NPR's Jenna McLaughlin has more.

  • In recent days,

  • a whistleblower working in the IT department of a small independent federal agency filed an official disclosure with Congress and spoke to NPR.

  • Daniel Baroulas works for the National Labor Relations Board, which protects employees' rights to unionize.

  • He says Doge requested the highest level access, right before a large chunk of data was removed from the system.

  • The NLRB told NPR that it never authorized access to the systems.

  • Then, a day later, senior officials at NLRB sent an email obtained by NPR,

  • revealing that Doge had made its first official visit to the agency,

  • and that two Doge representatives will be working there part-time.

  • NLRB says they will comply with Doge's requests, but will remove personal data from records before sharing them.

  • Jenna McLaughlin, NPR News.
