A lawyer for the Trump administration couldn’t say whether the data DOGE accessed had been shared outside the US Treasury Department.
A U.S. judge extended a temporary restraining order blocking the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing sensitive Treasury Department data. The order was granted after New York and other blue states argued that DOGE's access posed a threat to privacy. The judge, Jeannette A. Vargas, is considering a longer-term injunction. Uncertainty remains about whether accessed data was shared outside the Treasury. The case centers on concerns over privacy and the legality of DOGE's access, established under former President Trump to address fraud and waste.
