America: The US court has given a big blow to President Donald Trump and his partner Elon Musk. The US judge has banned the Musk-led department from acquiring sensitive information. This has also upset Elon Musk. Let us tell you that a US federal judge on Saturday morning barred the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency from acquiring Finance Department records, which include sensitive personal data such as Social Security and bank account numbers of millions of Americans.
US District Judge Paul Engelmayer issued this order after 19 Democratic attorneys general filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump. The case filed in the New York City federal court alleges that the Trump administration violated federal law by allowing Musk’s team access to the Finance Department’s central payment system.
DOGE has been formed under Musk’s leadership
Under this payment system, refunds, social security benefits, veterans’ benefits and many other responsibilities are handled. The Trump administration created the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under Musk’s leadership to detect and eliminate government wasteful spending.
