US EditionDOGE Can Access Sensitive Treasury Payment Systems, Judge Rules
- On Tuesday, US District Judge Jeannette Vargas ruled that the Trump administration's DOGE team can access sensitive Treasury payment systems in Washington, DC.
- This ruling follows a lawsuit brought earlier this year by a coalition of 19 Democratic-led states aiming to block DOGE's access due to privacy and security concerns.
- Judge Vargas noted the Trump administration initially acted chaotically and failed to evaluate risks but approved access after DOGE staff completed required privacy training.
- Letitia James, who spearheaded the lawsuit, described DOGE’s actions as an unlawful attempt to seize control aimed at preventing the distribution of federal funding to critical assistance initiatives such as retirement and healthcare support programs.
- The ruling permits DOGE to access Treasury systems with trained staff without ongoing court approval, reflecting partial agreement between parties and ongoing scrutiny of Musk-backed DOGE's authority.
