A federal judge has halted Elon Musk's DOGE from accessing sensitive Treasury Department records amid a lawsuit claiming misuse of power and violation of the US Constitution. The lawsuit, led by New York Attorney General Letitia James and supported by multiple states, argues that the Trump administration illegally granted access to these records. The ruling prohibits access to personally identifiable information and mandates the destruction of any unlawfully accessed material. A hearing is set for February 14th to address the matter further.
