Judge eases DOGE ban on accessing sensitive Treasury information
A judge has relaxed a ban preventing Elon Musk’s efficiency office from accessing sensitive Treasury Department information. The judge, who had issued the ban, will allow one DOGE worker to access sensitive payment and data systems under certain conditions. The worker must complete training that Treasury employees typically go through before being given such access and submit a financial disclosure report. The ruling came in a lawsuit over privacy issues and concerns about protecting such sensitive information as Social Security and bank account numbers.
