The effort is being led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who called on federal employees to use an online portal.

Senate Democrats have set up an online website for government workers to serve as whistleblowers for the Trump administration, particularly the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which was formed to slash unnecessary U.S. government spending and is being led by tech billionaire Elon Musk.

โ€œWhistleblowers are a vital part of Congressional oversight to hold the administration accountable,โ€ states the Senate Democratsโ€™ whistleblower website, which was established on Feb. 9. โ€œIf you would like to submit a whistleblower complaint, you can submit it here.โ€

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) released a statement about the whistleblower portal on Sunday, saying that โ€œwhistleblowers are essential in helping uncover fraud and abuse in the federal government.โ€

โ€œIf you have information you want to share about wrongdoing, abuse of power, and threats to public safety, we stand ready to support you in your pursuit of truth and justice,โ€ their letter said.

In a post on Muskโ€™s social media platform X on Feb. 10, Schumer said โ€œbrave public servantsโ€ displaying โ€œcourage in stepping forward as whistleblowers to expose corruption and misconduct is essential to preserving the integrity of our democratic institutions.โ€

During the Biden administration, some Republican lawmakers set up channels to receive testimony from whistleblowers inside multiple federal agencies, including the FBI, IRS, and CIA.

Since taking office on Jan. 20, President Donald Trump has initiated changes that his Democratic critics say exceed his executive authority, such as seeking to restrict birthright citizenship, withholding funding appropriated by Congress, and removing heads of federal agencies and boards. They also accused Musk and DOGE of acting in an unauthorized manner in how they have accessed data in multiple federal agencies, including the U.S. Treasury Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development.

Musk, Trump, and Republicans have said that DOGE is necessary to root out waste, fraud, and other abusive actions carried out by federal agencies.
