Legal Battle Erupts Over Musk's Access to Treasury Data Amid Controversy Surrounding DOGE
A federal judge's ruling temporarily bars Musk's DOGE from accessing Treasury systems, inciting criticism and debate over Trump's influence and legal authority.
Overview
Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is in turmoil after a federal judge blocked its access to Treasury Department data due to a lawsuit by 19 Democratic attorneys general. The ruling has sparked outrage from Musk, who criticized the judge on social media, suggesting the decision undermines Trump's authority. Legal analysts dispute Musk's claims, confirming that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent retains access. Protests against DOGE's role in probing agencies like USAID also escalate, fueled by allegations of government mismanagement. In the wake of these developments, Congress members continue to debate the legitimacy of Musk's access and the implications for federal oversight.
