Labor unions, alongside an advocacy group for retirees, have filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Treasury, aiming to block access granted to Elon Musk's government efficiency team. They argue that the Treasury's systematic disclosure of personal financial data to Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) poses significant privacy threats. The lawsuit criticizes Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent for giving DOGE unrestricted access to sensitive information, claiming this undermines legal protections for privacy and data security while calling for an immediate injunction against such actions.
In a lawsuit filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, groups are attempting to halt Musk’s team’s dangerous access to government payment systems.
The coalition urged the court to immediately enjoin the Treasury Department from continuing to permit such access, which has sparked calls for Bessent's impeachment.
