Three federal employee unions, including the Alliance for Retired Americans, the American Federation of Government Employees, and the Service Employees International Union, have launched a lawsuit against the Treasury Department. The lawsuit accuses Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent of unlawfully sharing sensitive government data with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The unions argue that this violation of federal law threatens individual privacy and security, stating, 'The scale of the intrusion into individuals' privacy is massive and unprecedented.' Additionally, the lawsuit highlights that Musk and his staff previously sought access to records from the Bureau of Fiscal Service but were denied. In response, President Donald Trump asserted that Musk's role is to identify wasteful government spending, emphasizing that any access granted is subject to governmental oversight. A White House spokesperson confirmed that Musk is considered a 'special government employee' and has complied with all applicable federal laws. The implications of this lawsuit could resonate strongly within the fabric of governmental transparency and protectiveness of sensitive information, with potential ramifications for data handling practices at the federal level.
