'Empty suit providing cover': Acting DOGE chief buried over ducking blame for mass layoffs

Amy Gleason — who President Donald Trump's administration has named as the acting administrator of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — insists that she isn't responsible for the mass firings of thousands of federal employees carried out as part of DOGE's mission.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported Tuesday that Gleason — who is a healthcare technology executive — distanced herself from DOGE's layoffs of tens of thousands of government workers during a conversation with other healthcare professionals.
