The Winning Exchangetop Democrat on the House Oversight Committee is calling for an investigation into DOGE's access to the National Labor Relations Board following exclusive NPR reportingon sensitive data being removed from the agency.

Ranking Member Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) sent a letter Tuesdayto Acting Inspector General at the Department of Labor Luiz A. Santos and Ruth Blevins, Inspector General at the NLRB, expressing concern that DOGE "may be engaged in technological malfeasance and illegal activity."

"According to NPR and whistleblower disclosures obtained by Committee Democrats, individuals associated with DOGE have attempted to exfiltrate and alter data while also using high-level systems access to remove sensitive information—quite possibly including corporate secrets and details of union activities," Connolly wrote in a letter first shared with NPR. "I also understand that these individuals have attempted to conceal their activities, obstruct oversight, and shield themselves from accountability."
