Today, Federal Judge Tanya Chutkan in Washington, DC, is scheduled to preside over a hearing regarding the potential temporary block of Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing federal data systems at various executive branch agencies. This case was initiated by Democratic state attorneys general who are questioning Musk's involvement in the Trump administration.
If a temporary restraining order is granted, it would mean that Musk and DOGE would be prohibited from accessing, copying, and sharing data from systems within the Office of Personnel Management and several departments, including Labor, Education, and Health and Human Services.
The hearing is set to take place today at 11 a.m. Eastern Time via teleconference. This legal proceeding will play a crucial role in determining the extent of Musk's access to sensitive federal data and the potential implications for government operations.
