Trump Strikes Back Against Court That Blocked DOGE From Scrutinizing Treasury Department
2025-02-11
[TOWNHALL] President Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
is challenging a federal court ruling barring members of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing the Treasury Department's payment and data systems.

This development comes after U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer slapped a preliminary injunction on the Trump administration after 19 Democratic attorneys general filed a lawsuit against the president.

The Trump administration made a filing on Sunday arguing that the injunction infringes on the president's ''absolute powers over the executive branch,'' The New York Times

...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

reported.

The filing by the administration came in response to a lawsuit filed Friday night by 19 attorneys general, led by New York's Letitia James, who had won a temporary pause on Saturday. The lawsuit said the Trump administration's policy of allowing appointees and ''special babus government employees'' access to these systems, which contain sensitive information such as bank details and social security numbers, was unlawful.

"Because when you find something like empty fields in Treasury's payment system, you're not just finding missing data. You're finding purpose. When basic controls sit blank while billions vanish weekly, that's not incompetence. That's design.
The machine is fighting back."
