Feb. 10 (UPI) -- Senate Democrats on Monday launched a web portal for federal workers to report any misconduct within the Trump administration.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., the ranking member of the Senate's Homeland Security Committee, wrote that with the whistleblower complaint option, Senate Democrats were prepared to "issue demand letters, preserve public records and pursue legal action where necessary."
"As Senate Republicans refuse to fulfill their constitutional duty to provide a check on the executive branch, Senate Democrats remain steadfast in our commitment to uncovering the truth," they wrote.
The portal will function similarly to an online form for whistleblowers to submit info "regarding wrongdoing within federal agencies or misuse of public dollars" by the office of Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.
The move by Democrats comes as Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency have taken an axe to at least 15 federal agencies including the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the Treasury Department and the the Office of Personnel Management.
The White House has classified Musk as a "special government employee," with he and his representatives recently obtaining access to highly restricted government records on millions of federal employees, in addition to Medicare and Medicaid payment info plus a slew of other private data on millions of American citizens.
