A coalition of a dozen state attorneys general has announced plans to file a lawsuit aimed at blocking Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing the U.S. Department of the Treasury's payment systems.
In a joint statement, the attorneys general argued that DOGE's access to the system—which contains sensitive personal data on millions of Americans—is both unauthorized and unlawful. They accused Musk's team of seeking this access to interfere with federal payments that fund essential programs such as health care and childcare.
