Chief Justice John Roberts on Friday temporarily paused action in an emergency appeal over whether the Department of Government Efficiency must turn over public documents – like other government agencies – or whether it is shielded from such requests because it is part of the White House.

Chief Justice John Roberts put a hold on lower court rulings in a dispute over whether DOGE is a federal agency subject to freedom of information requests.

The chief justice put a temporary hold on a lower court ruling that Elon Musk’s government efficiency team and the Office of Management and Budget turn over internal records.

The decision follows an appeal by the Trump admin to the Supreme Court, stemming from a lawsuit filed by a watchdog group.

The court indicated its decision doesn’t necessarily apply to the central bank and Chairman Jerome Powell — a frequent target of Trump’s criticism on economic matters.

You are going to ruin my career,” the judge, who blew a 0.23 BAC, told the responding trooper during his 2023 arrest.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a Freedom of Information request seeking details about DOGE’s secretive operations.
