Data analyst Leland Dudek was suspected of sharing unauthorized access to information with the U.S. DOGE Service. Now he's the acting Social Security commissioner.


Martin O'Malley, the newly appointed Social Security Administration (SSA) commissioner, was under investigation by the Department of Justice when he was selected for the role. This investigation, which began in 2020, was related to his time as mayor of Baltimore, focusing on the city's Gun Trace Task Force, a police unit involved in corruption and misconduct. Despite the ongoing investigation, Elon Musk's team, through a vetting process, chose O'Malley for the SSA position. The investigation has not resulted in charges against O'Malley, and his appointment was confirmed by the Senate with a vote of 50-11. O'Malley, who has a background in public service including serving as Maryland's governor, aims to address the SSA's challenges like long wait times and outdated technology.
