Supreme Court agrees to hear lawsuit seeking records about Elon Musk's government-cutting DOGE
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington argues that DOGE is a federal agency, making it subject to the Freedom of Information Act, and the Trump administration argues that, as a presidential advisory body, DOGE is exempt from the law.
The Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to hear arguments in a watchdog's lawsuit seeking public records concerning Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) is seeking access to DOGE records from its operations at the beginning of the second Trump administration, the Associated Press reported.
Last year, the high court limited a district court's order for the federal government to turn over records related to DOGE operations to CREW, ruling that the lower court ruled too broadly in ordering the documents to be produced.
CREW argues that DOGE is a federal agency, making it subject to the Freedom of Information Act, and the Trump administration argues that, as a presidential advisory body, DOGE is exempt from the law.
