One of the DOGE team of lawyers, there aren’t many public details about Keenan Kmiec’s specific contributions, apart from testimony from Noah Peters that he discussed the idea of firing probationary employees before the administration began. Like a small number of the DOGE crew, he comes from a cryptocurrency company and would possibly be involved with any work or policy by DOGE related to that sector.
