Trump Administration challenges court order blocking Elon Musk’s DOGE from Treasury access

The Trump administration is pushing back against a court order restricting Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing sensitive Treasury Department payment records.

The legal battle comes as Musk and his team have placed a sharp focus on curbing excessive federal spending, but critics argue that such access raises serious concerns over security and transparency.

Lawyers representing the administration have filed a motion to overturn the ruling, arguing that high-level political appointees need access to Treasury data in order to perform their duties effectively.

The motion states that officials, including the Treasury Secretary and Deputy Secretary, should retain the ability to receive briefings based on financial records, even if they do not typically require direct access.

The issue has sparked debate among lawmakers, with Vice President JD Vance calling the court’s injunction “illegal,” asserting that “judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.”

Meanwhile, opponents warn that allowing DOGE access to Treasury data without strict oversight could pose risks to financial security and government accountability.

As the legal dispute unfolds, questions remain about the extent of executive authority and the balance between government efficiency and financial transparency.

With high stakes for both fiscal policy and political power, the next steps in this case could have long-term implications for how federal agencies manage taxpayer dollars.
