ABC News: A 25-year-old associate of Elon Musk and former Treasury Department employee was "mistakenly" given the ability to make changes to a sensitive federal payment system, officials with the Bureau of the Fiscal Service disclosed in a series of court filings late Tuesday.

Treasury Department officials said the "error" was quickly corrected, and a forensic investigation into the actions of Marko Elez -- who resigned from his position last week after The Wall Street Journal unearthed a series of racist social media posts -- remains ongoing.

"To the best of our knowledge, Mr. Elez never knew of the fact that he briefly had read/write permissions for the [Secure Payment System] database, and never took any action to exercise the 'write' privileges in order to modify anything within the SPS database -- indeed, he never logged in during the time that he had read/write privileges, other than during the virtual walk-through -- and forensic analysis is currently underway to confirm this," wrote Joseph Gioeli III, a deputy commissioner at Bureau of the Fiscal Service.

Marjorie Taylor Greene shares what's next for House DOGE panel, whether Elon Musk would testify

Greene told reporters after her subcommittee's first public event that the next two would examine the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and media outlets NPR and PBS.

Musk has also targeted NPR and USAID since leading President Donald Trump's DOGE advisory team.

"We're working on filling the calendar with many more important issues, departments, government programs that the American people deserve direct, hard transparency into," Greene told reporters. "And then we're going to be coming up with solutions."

When asked if one of those hearings could feature Musk himself, Greene suggested that was not in the works.

"I think Democrats want Elon Musk in front of the committee so they can berate him, attack him and harass him," Greene said. "Right now, President Trump, myself and many others really want Elon Musk to stay focused on what he's doing, and that is rooting out the waste, fraud and abuse that has continued on for years within the federal government agencies."

She said her committee would release a report "in a matter of days" on its findings from its first hearing, which focused on government spending through the lens of the $36 trillion national debt.

Incredible: President Trump's freeze at the border is so successful that countries like Panama and Costa Rica are struggling to cope with the REVERSE flow of migrants heading south back to their home countries.

For years, Washington said this "crisis" could only be solved by letting the entire world into America. That was a lie, because they are liars who hate America. As soon as America sent the message that its border was real and showing up was pointless, people stopped doing it.

Border security is an act of will. Nothing more and nothing less.

AG PAM BONDI: "President Trump has directed this to stop. And if you don't comply with federal law, we will hold you accountable. We did it to Illinois. Strike one. Strike two is New York. If you are a state not complying with federal law, you're next. Get ready."
