John Solly, a software developer and previous member of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), is allegedly reported to have informed colleagues that he had kept critical Social Security Administration (SSA) data on a USB drive with plans to present it to his new employer, as per sources. Since October, Solly has held the position of chief technology officer for Leidos’ health IT sector, which possesses substantial contracts with SSA. Solly’s online footprint has been erased this week. Through his legal representation, Solly refutes any accusations of misconduct. Leidos has found no proof that supports the whistleblower’s allegations. Solly was a member of a 12-person DOGE team at SSA, contributing to various projects. A report, not specifying Solly or Leidos, was submitted to the SSA’s Inspector General, claiming that a former DOGE employee had taken SSA data to possibly use at a private-sector firm, anticipating clemency for any illegal acts. Solly asserts that he did not partake in the alleged conduct. Leidos stands as a prominent SSA contractor, continuing to gain substantial contracts despite cuts under DOGE’s initiatives.
