A federal appeals court on Tuesday allowed teams affiliated with #DOGE to gain #access to potentially sensitive #data on millions of Americans, overruling a lower court that had blocked that access in Feb.
By a 2-1 vote, a 3-judge panel of the US Court of Appeals for the #FourthCircuit granted the access to data stored at the #Treasury Dept, the #Education Dept & the Office of Personnel Management [#OPM], citing the June #SocialSecurity #SCOTUS decision.
