Court Dismisses Lawsuit Over Trump's DOGE Program Access to Treasury Systems

Judge Jeannette Vargas dismissed claims brought by Letitia James concerning the DOGE program's access to sensitive Treasury systems as moot. The lawsuit, which involved officials from New York and 18 other states, was filed by Letitia James over Donald Trump’s budget-cutting DOGE program. The claims related to the access granted to DOGE workers within the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, which handles federal payments.

The dismissal of the lawsuit removes regulatory risk associated with the DOGE team's access to federal financial information. This legal outcome follows a previous judgment of nearly half a billion dollars against Donald Trump, which was later tossed by an appeals court as unconstitutional.
