A district judge has finally ruled in favor of something that President Donald Trump has wanted.
U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas ruled on Tuesday, in a lawsuit brought by Democrat-led states, that four Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) can access the Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service, which distributes trillions of dollars in payments, The Epoch Times reported.
The Treasury Department system has allowed access to four members of the DOGE team: Thomas Krause, Linda Whitridge, Samuel Corcos, and Todd Newnam. The judge bristled at the lawsuit as it was brought after another DOGE team member, Ryan Wunderly, was allowed to access the systems in a ruling in April.
“There is little utility in having this Court function as Treasury’s de facto human resources officer each time a new team member is onboarded,” the judge said.
She said that the four members of DOGE “have satisfied the conditions to be carved out of the definition of Restricted Personnel, [and] they shall be permitted access to Treasury Payment Systems on the same terms as Wunderly.”
