The U.S. Treasury Department has agreed not to give Elon Musk’s government efficiency agency access to its payment systems while a judge hears arguments in a lawsuit alleging the billionaire adviser to U.

Department of Justice lawyers proposed on Wednesday night temporarily restricting the Elon Musk-headed Department of Government Efficiency's access to sensitive Treasury payment system information. Why it matters: The proposed order that would limit to two Treasury Department employees affiliated with DOGE "read only" access to the data comes in response to a lawsuit that seeks to block DOGE's access to sensitive data.
