Treasury agrees to block additional DOGE staff from accessing sensitive payment systems

A court filing states the Treasury Department has temporarily restricted all but two members of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team to read-only access of payment records while allowing Tom Krause and Marko Elez continued access; the action follows a lawsuit and reports that DOGE — reportedly run by Elon Musk — accessed or sought access to systems across several federal agencies.
