Summary

The White House has named Amy Gleason as the acting administrator of DOGE, ending weeks of speculation.

Gleason, a former Obama-era “Champion of Change” and digital services expert, previously worked in Trump’s and Biden’s administrations. However, her appointment raises legal concerns since she has not been confirmed by the Senate.

Critics argue she is a figurehead while Elon Musk, whom Trump publicly put “in charge” of DOGE, wields real power.

Lawsuits challenging DOGE’s authority continue as Musk prepares for Trump’s Cabinet meeting.
