Two USAID officials placed on leave for refusing to hand over classified documents to Musk commission - CNN

As Ukrinform reports, CNN reports this, citing sources.

It is noted that this concerns the Director of the USAID Security Division, John Voorhees, and his deputy.

Employees of the Musk Department physically attempted to gain access to USAID headquarters in the capital, Washington, and were stopped.

According to two sources, Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) officers demanded to be let in and threatened to call in U.S. Marshals Service officers to gain access inside.

The sources added that DOGE representatives wanted access to security systems and personal files. They also wanted access to classified information.

According to the AP, Department employees eventually gained access on Saturday to the Agency's confidential information, including reports based on intelligence data.
