Federal judge orders limited DOGE access to sensitive Treasury Department payment system records

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is led by Elon Musk

A federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from obtaining access to certain Treasury Department payment records.

Treasury officials "will not provide access to any payment record or payment system of records maintained within the [Treasury] Bureau of Fiscal Service," Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly wrote in a temporary restraining order.

That program handles an estimated 90% of federal payments.

The order comes after the Justice Department on Wednesday agreed in a proposed court order to limit access to the sensitive records to only two "special government employees" within DOGE, who will have read-only permission. Kollar-Kotelly approved the motion in a brief order Thursday.

Several government employee unions brought suit over who could access the material as part of a government-wide evaluation of programs and systems, led by DOGE.

The lawsuit claimed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent allowed improper access to Elon Musk’s team, potentially exposing personal financial information to unauthorized individuals.

Under the order, only Musk ally Tom Krause, CEO of Cloud Software Group, and Marko Elez – an engineer and former Musk company employee -- will continue to have access to Treasury’s Fiscal Service, but they will not be allowed to make any changes to the program.

I'm sure the court will make life difficult for Pres. Trump, but even with read only access the important info will be found. The solution will be much worse though because the answer will be to reorganize depts and eliminate people.

I think you meant "eliminate positions".  888mouth
The people will just have to go elsewhere for employment.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

We are in only step one of several steps here, identifying the problem of waste and inefficiency,

We will eventually have to deal with outright illegal activity.

This will have to include federal judges who choose to exert power they do not possess to interrupt a legally elected Executive and Congress from properly running this country

In the short run they may get away with it, but at the appellate level they have to be smater.

One dangerous thing about the timing of all this is if the IRS employees slow roll people tax refunds and claim it was because of Trump's cleaning house it will anger a lot of people. So they better have a good handle on the people doing the actual work.
