Election Department policies require all Department officials to “enforce the laws...in a neutral and impartial manner” and to remain “particularly sensitive to safeguarding the Department’s reputation for fairness, neutrality, and nonpartisanship.” Various policies also address investigative activities timed to affect an election and require that prosecutors and agents consult with the Criminal Division’s Public Integrity Section (PIN) before taking overt investigative steps in advance of a primary or general election. No Department policy contains a specific prohibition on overt investigative steps within a particular period before an election. Nevertheless, various witnesses testified that the Department has a longstanding unwritten practice to avoid overt law enforcement and prosecutorial activities close to an election, typically within 60 or 90 days of Election Day. We discuss relevant Department policies and practices below.

Who is the administrator of DOGE?

I'll look up official sources for who currently leads DOGE and any confirmation or
appointment announcements.

What the order created

Executive Order 141587 (January 20, 2025) did not create a cabinet department. It renamed
the U.S. Digital Service as the United States DOGE Service (USDS) in the Executive Office of
the President.

That order created a USDS Administrator who reports to the White House Chief of Staff. The
same person headed a temporary organization that the order said would end on July 4, 2026.
That end date does not cancel the rest of the order.

Who holds the job now

I cannot verify a current official name from White House or Federal Register pages
checked today.

Earlier public statements conflicted:
