May 28 A federal judge ruled that the Department of Government Efficiency can now access a U.S. Treasury payment system that distributes trillions of dollars in federal money.
On Tuesday night, Judge Jeannette Vargas of New York’s U.S. Southern District signed off to permit four DOGE employees access to the Bureau of Fiscal Services, which acts as the federal government’s « checkbook », so long as proper training procedures were in place.
The judge added she will no longer require the Trump administration to seek court approval before it grants access to other DOGE reps.
