As DOGE targets FEMA, the aid agency is accused of illegally destroying records
EXCLUSIVE — The Federal Emergency Management Agency, which is set to be a key target of Trump's so-called Department of Government Efficiency, is facing a complaint for reportedly deleting a group chat on the taxpayers' dime.
The complaint, a copy of which was obtained by the Washington Examiner, was filed Tuesday by the Center to Advance Security in America. The national security watchdog group is pressing for an investigation into whether employees at FEMA violated federal law when they apparently deleted an LGBT "pride" chat on the Microsoft Teams software just as President Donald Trump took office in January.
"The American public deserves to know when the 'pride' chat was created in Microsoft teams, how it was managed, how it functioned, and how it was deleted," CASA Director James Fitzpatrick wrote in the complaint letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Department of Homeland Security Inspector General Joseph Cuffari, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the acting archivist of the United States. "The investigation into this matter will shed light on the allegations regarding the possible wrongful deletion of federal records."
