A federal judge has issued an order restricting the Elon Musk-led government efficiency team from accessing a critical Treasury Department payment system. The order, issued by District Judge Paul Engelmayer, temporarily stops the access and demands the destruction of any downloaded information due to the risk of 'irreparable harm.'
The order came in response to a suit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James and 18 other state attorneys general against the Trump administration. The judge cited concerns about the disclosure of sensitive and confidential information and the increased vulnerability to hacking.
