A lawsuit filed Monday seeks to halt the ‘unlawful disclosure of information,’ including Treasury data on Americans’ taxes and Social Security, to DOGE staff.

Musk's rapid takeover of US government agencies has enabled the businessman to exert unprecedented control over America's federal workforce.
