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.”

This ruling comes after multiple government employee unions brought sued 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.
As Fox News reported, the order 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.
As Jim Hoft previously reported, the DOGE team previously discovered that payment approval officers at Treasury were always instructed to approve payments, even to known fraudulent or terrorist groups.
