US EditionTrump administration asks Supreme Court to block watchdog access to DOGE documents
- On May 20, 2025, the Trump administration petitioned the Supreme Court to intervene and prevent lower court mandates compelling the Department of Government Efficiency to disclose documents to a watchdog group based in Washington.
- This appeal follows a February lawsuit filed by a government watchdog group alleging that DOGE exercises extensive authority without sufficient transparency, with lower courts determining that it must adhere to the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act.
- The administration contends DOGE is a presidential advisory body exempt from FOIA and says discovery demands, including a deposition of acting administrator Amy Gleason, are overly broad and intrusive.
- In March, Judge Christopher Cooper found DOGE likely exceeds advisory functions by cancelling contracts and shuttering agencies, setting a June 13 compliance deadline that Solicitor General Sauer urged the Court to stay.
- The case highlights ongoing tension over DOGE’s role and transparency, as emergency appeals reach the Supreme Court amid debates on government oversight and FOIA applicability.
