Supreme Court agrees to hear DOGE records dispute

The Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to hear the Trump administration’s challenge to a watchdog group’s effort to obtain records about the Department of Government Efficiency. The case concerns records from DOGE’s early operations during President Donald Trump’s second term.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington says DOGE is a federal agency subject to the Freedom of Information Act. The administration argues it is a presidential advisory body exempt from the law. Lower courts sided with the group and ordered expedited processing of its request.
