Judge leaves intact a ban on DOGE access to Treasury records pending a hearing Friday

A federal judge has maintained a ban preventing Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency from accessing Treasury Department records containing sensitive personal data for millions of Americans, pending a hearing on Friday.
Judge Jeannette A. Vargas issued the order to continue the ban, which was originally imposed in response to a lawsuit by 19 Democratic Attorneys General against President Donald Trump.
Justice Department attorneys argued that the ban was unconstitutional and a significant intrusion on the Executive Branch, stating that there was no basis for distinguishing between civil servants and political appointees.
The upcoming hearing will determine if the Attorneys General can secure a permanent ban on Musk's access to these records.
