The Trump administration’s claim that Amy Gleason is the official administrator of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency took a sharp turn on Tuesday when it was revealed that the government bureaucrat was actually hired at the Department of Health and Human Services for an entirely different position.
The new details came to light in a court document ordered by Senior U.S. District Judge John Bates, according to Politico’s Kyle Cheney . Bates is overseeing a lawsuit the AFL-CIO filed against DOGE that seeks to limit the cost-cutting task force’s access to major government data systems.
In the court documents, Gleason’s position is listed as an “expert/consultant” at HHS, Cheney reported . The document, an “appointment affidavits,” further added that Gleason was hired on March 4, which Cheney pointed out to his social media followers on Bluesky was “just a few days after the White House identified her as the administrator of DOGE .”
