Trump admin tells Supreme Court: DOGE needs to do its work in secret | DOJ complains of "sweeping, intrusive discovery" after DOGE refused FOIA requests.


DOJ complains of “sweeping, intrusive discovery” after DOGE refused FOIA requests.

The Department of Justice today asked the Supreme Court to block a ruling that requires DOGE to provide information about its government cost-cutting operations as part of court-ordered discovery. US Solicitor General John Sauer argued that the Department of Government Efficiency is exempt from the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) as a presidential advisory body and not an official "agency." DOGE then asked the district court for a summary judgment in its favor, and CREW responded by filing a motion for expedited discovery "seeking information relevant to whether USDS wields substantial authority independent of the President and is therefore subject to FOIA."
