Federal Court Restricts Musk-Linked Access to Treasury Systems
A federal judge has limited the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency from altering Treasury payment systems following lawsuits over privacy and legality concerns.
- A federal judge issued a temporary order restricting Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to 'read-only' access to sensitive Treasury payment systems after legal challenges from unions and state attorneys general.
- Concerns arose over DOGE's alleged use of access to target federal programs, such as USAID, and potentially block Congressionally authorized payments, prompting bipartisan scrutiny.
- Marko Elez, a DOGE technologist with 'write access' to critical Treasury systems, resigned following revelations of offensive social media posts and allegations of unauthorized system changes.
- State attorneys general, led by Letitia James, plan to sue the Trump administration over granting DOGE access to sensitive personal data, calling the move unlawful and a threat to privacy.
- Over 40,000 federal workers accepted a controversial resignation offer under the administration's cost-cutting 'Fork in the Road' plan, which has also faced legal challenges over its legality and terms.
