In a legal setback for New York Attorney General Letitia James, a federal judge appointed by Joe Biden has thrown out her high‑profile lawsuit challenging Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) over its access to sensitive Treasury Department databases.
US District Judge Jeannette Vargas ruled in Manhattan that the states' claims concerning DOGE access to sensitive Treasury information were moot because the Treasury's dedicated DOGE unit has been formally dissolved and its personnel have departed the agency.
