A U.S. federal judge has ordered Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to release its records. This decision follows concerns about the agency’s vast power and secrecy.
The DOGE, created during the Trump administration, has been criticized for its actions. For example, it carried out mass firings and dismantled the U.S. Agency for International Development. Moreover, these changes happened without input from Congress. To avoid public scrutiny, the administration placed it within the Executive Office of the President.
As a result of the ruling, transparency advocates are celebrating a major victory. They have long demanded public access to information about DOGE’s role in these significant government changes. In addition, the judge emphasized that the public deserves to know how powerful entities make decisions.
Furthermore, experts believe this ruling sets an important precedent. They argue that keeping DOGE’s work secret undermines democratic values. Going forward, they hope this decision will encourage greater transparency in government operations.
