Emily Bryant
A relatively new arrival to DOGE. My only information on her is a sighting on the DOGE team at the FTC. ProPublica did report that she has an email address at both GSA and EOP, so I am assuming she started there and was detailed outward. In a recent podcast, Antonio Gracias said that “[Baris Akis] and Emily do the recruiting.” Is it possibly her?
