DOGE avoids injunction over record preservation request
President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, was handed a small court win on Tuesday.
Judge James Boasberg denied a request for a preliminary injunction demanding that DOGE preserve documents under the Federal Records Act, Bloomberg News reporter Zoe Tillman posted on X.
The office has said it was complying with the Presidential Records Act, which Tillman noted "is different" from the Federal Records Act.
Boasberg said complying with the presidential act is "enough to satisfy retention concerns for now," wrote Tillman.
The Project on Government Oversight "is therefore in little danger of losing access to documents to which it may be entitled if it prevails in its litigation against DOGE, much less at risk of irreparable harm," Boasberg wrote.
A Trump executive order led to the founding of DOGE upon entering the White House. The aim was to eliminate $2 trillion in spending by the federal government.
