WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has brought on several staffers with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, according to an email sent to regulatory staff Thursday.

The bank regulator said a "small team" of DOGE staffers is working with agency leadership, according to the email seen by Reuters. The email sent to staff says the DOGE team consists of full-time federal employees with appropriate clearances, and adds that DOGE staff have not requested nor been granted access to sensitive bank information.

A spokesperson for the FDIC declined to comment. The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
