Supreme Court Pauses Disclosure Orders for Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency
Chief Justice Roberts temporarily halts orders requiring DOGE to disclose information amid ongoing legal disputes over its status as a federal agency.
Summary
Chief Justice John Roberts has temporarily paused lower court orders mandating the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to disclose information to a watchdog group. The case, stemming from a Freedom of Information Act request by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), questions whether DOGE is a federal agency subject to transparency laws. The Trump administration argues DOGE is merely an advisory body, exempt from such requirements. The Supreme Court's stay allows for further consideration of the legal implications surrounding DOGE's authority and transparency.
