In a story published Aug. 29, 2025, about Social Security whistleblower Charles Borges, who had resigned after filing a complaint that alleged Department of Government Efficiency officials mishandled Americans’ sensitive information, The Associated Press erroneously reported that he was being represented in the case by The Project Government Accountability Office.
