The Trump administration agrees to temporarily restrict DOGE's access to the Treasury Department's payment system

Odaily Planet Daily News: US Department of Justice prosecutors have agreed to temporarily restrict access to information in the Treasury Department's payment system by employees of Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Previously, a group of union members and retirees sued the Treasury Department, alleging that providing access to the federal government's vast collection and payment system, as well as the personal data information stored within it, to DOGE violated federal privacy laws. The Trump administration submitted a motion on Wednesday evening seeking to sign a proposed order detailing the agreed terms. The proposed order states that "the defendant will not provide any access to payment records or payment systems maintained by the US Treasury Service or its internal operations." The order allows exceptions, allowing two special government employees within the Treasury Department (Tom Krauss and Marco Elitz) to access these records "as needed" while performing their duties, but such access is limited to "read-only".
