A federal judge signed off on an agreement Thursday that would temporarily limit the Department of Government Efficiency's access to sensitive Treasury Department payment systems. The ruling is part of a broader case brought against the Treasury Department, which a coalition of federal employee unions as accused of illegally sharing access to their members' information with Elon Musk's quasi-governmental operation charged with slashing the federal budget.
The lawsuit was filed by liberal nonprofit Public Citizen on behalf of the AFL-CIO and other groups.
