Democratic attorneys general in several states are vowing to file a lawsuit to stop Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency from accessing federal payment systems containing Americans’ sensitive personal information.

Summary

Thirteen Democratic attorneys general, led by New York’s Letitia James, plan to sue to block Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing federal payment systems containing sensitive personal data.

DOGE allegedly seeks control to halt payments to agencies like USAID.
