Elon Musk, DOGE, and President Trump have scored a major victory over the Democrat’s lawfare against the American taxpayer. A federal judge has ruled in favor of Musk’s access to records at the Department of Labor, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The Democrats tried to stop this inviting the question of, “What are they hiding?” Elon is uncovering massive fraud and abuse including 1.7 million laundered and then given to the terrorist group, the Taliban.
ABC News reported:
The judge’s decision came down to the question of whether DOGE has the authority to “detail” its people to individual parts of the federal government where – as employees of that department or agency – the individuals associated with DOGE could legally access the sensitive records. To have that authority, DOGE would have to be considered an “agency” in the eyes of the law, Bates wrote.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs argued that DOGE is not an agency — because it was created via an executive order — and therefore is not entitled to detail its employees to parts of the federal government.
Curiously, lawyers for DOGE have attempted to avoid the “agency” label during court hearings despite its “strong claim” to agency status, Bates wrote.
“This appears to come from a desire to escape the obligations that accompany agencyhood” — such as being subject to the Freedom of Information Act, the Privacy Act and the Administrative Procedures Act — “while reaping only its benefits,” the judge wrote.

“For the reasons explained above, on the record as it currently stands and with limited briefing on the issue, the case law defining agencies indicates that plaintiffs have not shown a substantial likelihood that [DOGE] is not an agency. If that is so, [DOGE] may detail its employees to other agencies consistent with the Economy Act,” he wrote.
The lawsuit, brought by one of the largest labor unions, was intended to prevent Musk and DOGE from finding out where the money was being spent. It seems everyone, and every agency has skeletons in their closet they do not want to have go public. It’s time to clear out these closets to find out if they contain fraud and abuse. The money that has already been found to be part of fraud and abuse is staggering.
Judge John D. Bates ruled that the plaintiffs failed to establish standing, a crucial legal threshold required to proceed with their claim.
The court found that the unions did not provide sufficient evidence showing that their members faced imminent harm from the DOGE Service’s data access.
Moreover, the court highlighted that while the plaintiffs articulated general concerns about data privacy, they did not demonstrate specific, individualized harm necessary to satisfy legal standing requirements.
