what do you mean by "clearances"?
If they're accessing data that requires clearances, they have the required clearances. That's mandatory, and no one is going to show them anything without them.
My guess, based on the fact you use terms like "protected government data" is that you don't even know enough about this topic to make up words about it.
No, access to data does not imply clearance. And they are forcing access to data. No it is not legal, but neither Trump nor DOGE nor Musk care about legality.
You're making broad blanket statements that have no basis in anything other than media BS.
There is no "forcing access". It simply doesn't work that way.
If the President clears them, they are cleared. That's perfectly legal. The President is the federal government's OCA.
