DOJ agrees to proposed order to limit DOGE’s access to Treasury data Three federal unions sought a temporary injunction blocking DOGE’s access. By Peter Charalambous, February 5, 2025, 7:20 PM 3:57 Screaming match erupts among house lawmakers over motion to subpoena Elon Musk Democrats on the House Oversight Committee attempted to subpoena Elon Musk to testify but the procedural motion quickly turned into screaming and name-calling. In a filing late Wednesday evening, lawyers with the Justice Department agreed to a proposed order that would largely prohibit the Treasury Department from sharing sensitive financial data with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.a The agreement allows two individuals associated with Musk but employed by the Treasury Department – called special government employees – to have “read only” access to the sensitive data. Once approved by U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, who is overseeing the case, the agreement will stay in place until Feb. 24 when both sides return to court to argue about a long-term preliminary injunction.
