The Trump Justice Department has filed an motion to block or alter the restraining orders for federal judges on either side of the left and right that government efficiency blocked access to Treasury data.
According to the lawsuit filed by the 19 Blue State Attorney General, the order from Paul Engelmeyer at 1am on Saturday said Doge employees were unable to access Treasury data. Doge has documented billions of dollars in waste, fraud and abuse at countless government agencies, particularly USAID.
The order is so drastic that it can prevent Treasury Secretary Scott Bescent from doing his job, the DOJ argues.
President Donald Trump spoke up about the judge's order in an interview about Air Force 1 and a pre-Super Bowl interview with Fox News speaker Brett Baier. Engelmeyer's orders were “disgraceful” to Bayer.
Litigation
The 19 distant lawyer generals, led by corrupt Leticia James in New York, seek a restraining order in federal courts in the Southern District of New York, to end widespread transplants and corruption with the help of Doge staff. I sought a restraining order to stop it. We looked into federal spending data from the Ministry of Finance.
Noting that the state receives “billions of dollars of funds,” the 60-page submission states that access “residences where the federal program (it) contains Medicaid (a single source of federal funding for plaintiffs). Edward Byrne Jag claims that it provides important services to its individuals. FEMA funding for disaster relief and management is essential for law enforcement and criminal justice programs, education funding and childcare programs. I'll make it something.”
It's a long way to say Trump is threatening to throw them off the gravy train.
The lawsuit alleges Doge threatens to expose “sensitive, personally identifiable information, including Social Security and bank account numbers, and confidential financial information regarding the amount and type of payment.”
“Illegal” access
Trump “illegally granted access to the (Finance Services Bureau) system,” the lawsuit alleges.
The 5-count lawsuit includes actions that “exceeding statutory authority” and “contrary to the law”, alternative violations of “arbitrary and whimsical” behavior, fourth, last violation of ultra-viral behavior, and final separation It alleges two violations of the Administrative Procedure Act regarding conduct that violates the Act. of authority by “taking legislative authorities.”
Activist Judge Engelmeyer, appointed by former President Barack Obama, blocked Doge Access until a hearing before Judge Janet Vargas on February 14th. There, the administration must explain why the courts should not block Doge. Former President Joe Biden appointed Vargas.
However, Engelmayer's order prohibits political appointees from accessing financial data. That includes the Secretary of the Treasury and his representative.
Overlord Order
Therefore, the DOJ asked for a stay or modification of the order today.
“A federal court, consistent with the separation of power, cannot isolate some of its work from the ghost of political accountability,” the filing argues:
The court cannot issue an injunction that directly removes the clear line of Article 2 of Supervision. That in-person order must be disbanded immediately, in order to elicit unacceptable anti-constitutional distinctions.
The appeal, which calls the order “significantly overloaded,” includes political appointees, “through the ability of the Cabinet Secretary to oversee the ability to oversee constitutionally appointed departments, known as extraordinary and unprecedented judicial intervention. Suppressing these basic functions will cause irreparable harm to the government, even in a day.”
Similarly, one special employee, Thomas Krause, said, “A detailed political appointee, special government employee, or government employee from an agency other than the Ministry of Finance will be able to provide the appropriate level of access to the payment or data system. I didn't have it.”
Trump, Vance and Musk's reaction
In an interview with an Air Force 1 reporter, Trump was dropped off at Engelmeyer.
“When the president can't look for fraud, waste, or abuse, we don't have a country anymore,” Trump said:
So, we are very disappointed with the judges who make such a ruling, but we have a long way to go. We have to look. You have to find all the scams going on. By the way, we have a tremendous amount of fraud, an immense waste, an immense amount of abuse and theft. …The judge should not be allowed to make such a decision in a frank way. That's dishonor.
“I think it's crazy,” he told Bayer before the Super Bowl. “We need to resolve the efficiency issues. We need to resolve the fraud, waste, and abuse.”
Vice President JD Vance said Engelmayer has no legal authority to issue such an order.
“If a judge attempts to tell the general how to carry out a military operation, it is illegal,” Vance wrote X:
If a judge attempts to order the Attorney General about how he uses his discretion as a prosecutor, that is also illegal.
Judges are not permitted to control the legitimate power of executives.
Meanwhile, Musk hopes Judge Rogue will be thrown off the bench, as he wrote in two posts on X after the night.
“It's time,” he reposted the rebellion, writing a Barbie judge's call for each.
In a post by Glenn Beck, Musk wrote that Engelmeyer was “a corrupt judge who protects corruption.” He needs to be bounced each now! ”
Article 4 of the US Constitution provides for the ammo for the President, Vice President and the “all civil servants” of the government.
