The Board entered into an agreement for DOGE to be detailed there from April 16-July 25, 2025. DOGE then requested and was granted access to the IT systems. We found no evidence that DOGE accessed the systems during the agreement period.
On April 14, 2025, a Board staff member told Congress that one or more DOGE personnel unlawfully accessed the IT systems in March 2025. The Board told us its Inspector General is investigating this allegation. We looked at the agreement period to avoid overlapping with the IG investigation.
Lambert here: Oh.
GAO found no evidence that DOGE team staff accessed any of these systems between April 16, 2025, and July 25, 2025. To determine this, GAO reviewed the sign-in activity of the logs for the DOGE team members’ accounts used to access NLRB network resources and did not identify any sign-ins during the specified timeframes.
Lambert here: Not that I’m foily, but GAO reviewed logins after the time any backdoors would have been instaled.
