Justin Monroe started at the OPM about a week after the Inauguration and was dispatched to the FBI the following day as a Senior Advisor to the Director. It’s unclear what role he might be playing in the Attorney General’s own “JUST-US” project to bring DOGE-style interventions to the DOJ. Prior to DOGE, he was a SpaceX employee.
