John Solly Is the DOGE Operative Accused of Planning to Take Social Security Data to His New Job

John Solly, a former DOGE software engineer and current Leidos CTO, is accused in a whistleblower complaint of storing sensitive SSA data—including the NUMIDENT database and death master file—on a thumb drive and planning to share it with his new employer. Solly and Leidos deny the allegations, while the complaint also claims he expected a presidential pardon if his actions were found unlawful.
