Is Trump Breaking Federal Laws? We Asked Legal Experts
Can Trump legally do that?
Legal experts say granting Musk and his team access to such sensitive government data potentially contravenes multiple federal statutes, including the Privacy Act of 1974, the Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA), and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), as well as strict taxpayer privacy provisions under the Internal Revenue Code.The short answer is, YES, they are. trump is going to push the executive powers as far as he can. But, more seriously, he is allowing a person who does not have classified access to roam through OUR personal information in violation of the Privacy Act. I thought he would over reach in his second term, but I never thought he would blatantly violate federal law. But, he is a Felon...so I should have seen it coming?
