A federal judge questioned a Department of Justice attorney about the leadership of DOGE during a recent hearing. Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly specifically inquired about the role of Mr. Musk in the ongoing discussions surrounding the cryptocurrency.
Elon Musk's DOGE team is set to visit the Bureau of Fiscal Service in Parkersburg, West Virginia, next week to gain read-only access to the US government's central accounting system, CARS. This follows a federal judge's restriction on broader access to Treasury's payment systems amid privacy concerns. Musk has claimed progress in discussions with Treasury officials regarding federal payment audits and compliance with a "do-not-pay" list.
Democratic lawmakers are calling for a Treasury Department investigation into the access granted to Elon Musk’s team regarding the government’s payment systems, citing concerns over economic threats, national security, and potential privacy violations. In letters to Treasury officials, including Secretary Scott Bessent, they expressed worries about transparency and accountability, particularly regarding the review's legality and its implications for critical payments like Social Security. Labor unions and advocacy groups have also filed lawsuits to halt the review, which has been restricted to two workers following a judge's order.
Elon Musk's team faces legal challenges as a federal judge partially blocks access to government databases, limiting two employees to read-only records. This follows allegations of unauthorized access to Americans' personal information amid a broader critique of Musk and Trump's influence over federal agencies. Senator Ron Wyden warns of an authoritarian takeover, urging Congress to respond to constituents' growing concerns over the administration's policies.
Legal battles intensify over the Trump administration's alleged violations of privacy laws, as lawsuits challenge the involvement of Musk-led affiliates in accessing sensitive government data systems. Judges are scrutinizing the administration's transparency and the security of employee information amid claims of unauthorized access. The Justice Department maintains that proper protocols were followed, but concerns persist about the implications for civil servants and the integrity of federal data systems.
