Federal Judge BLOCKS DOGE from Gaining Access to “Sensitive” Treasury Department Payment Records – DOGE Team Previously Discovered Treasury was Funding Terrorist Groups

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly

A federal judge on Thursday blocked the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from obtaining access to ‘sensitive‘ Treasury Department payment records for a period of time.

Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly wrote in her order that Treasury officials “will not provide access to any payment record or payment system of records maintained within the [Treasury] Bureau of Fiscal Service.”

Here is a link to the order here.

This ruling comes after multiple government employee unions sued the Treasury Department over who could access the material.

The lawsuit claimed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent improperly allowed Elon Musk’s team to access the materials, supposedly exposing personal financial information to unauthorized people.

The ruling comes after the Justice Department on Wednesday agreed in a proposed court order to limit access to the “sensitive” records to two “special government employees” within DOGE. They will have read-only permission.

From NBC News:

Attorneys for the Justice Department have agreed to temporarily restrict staffers associated with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency from accessing information in the Treasury Department’s payment system.
