The US Supreme Court has ruled in favor of President Donald Trump’s administration in two key cases concerning government data access, according to CNN.
In a 6-3 decision, the conservative majority enabled the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to access Social Security data while ruling that it is not compelled to provide certain records under the Freedom of Information Act. Liberal justices dissented.
DOGE was established upon Trump's 2024 re-election to reduce bureaucracy and reform government agencies. The agency, which was initially chaired by Elon Musk, has come under fire for its transparency and aggressive changes. Musk's resignation has raised questions about DOGE's leadership, CNN reported.
