  • A judge says she will continue to block DOGE from accessing sensitive Treasury Department payment systems while she decides whether to issue a preliminary injunction.

The article discusses a legal battle involving Elon Musk, Dogecoin, and the U.S. Treasury Department.

This decision stems from a lawsuit where the plaintiffs allege that Musk and others manipulated the cryptocurrency market, specifically Dogecoin, through public statements and actions. The Treasury Department had previously denied a Freedom of Information Act request for communications related to Musk and Dogecoin, citing exemptions for law enforcement and deliberative process. The judge's hesitation to grant access to this information is based on the potential for the data to reveal sensitive law enforcement techniques or ongoing investigations. The case continues as the court weighs the balance between public interest in transparency and the government's need to protect certain information.
