White House Deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller blasted the U.S. district judge who ruled against the Department of Government Efficiency's investigation into the Treasury Department.
U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of New York Paul Engelmayer, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, issued a temporary restraining order Saturday that sided with 19 Democratic state attorneys general who claimed that giving DOGE "full access" to the Treasury’s payment systems violates the law.
The ruling, part of a lawsuit filed by 19 Democrat state attorneys general, prevented Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team from receiving more than "read-only" access previously granted by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
Elon Musk has called to impeach a federal judge in New York, Paul Engelmayer, over an order that temporarily restricts the tech centi-billionaire and his DOGE team from accessing U.S. Department of Treasury payment systems and sensitive data.
