A U.S. judge clarified on Tuesday that an order restricting billionaire Elon Musk's government cost-cutting effort from accessing the Treasury Department's payment systems does not apply to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer on Saturday temporarily blocked Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency's access to the government systems used to process trillions of dollars in payments, granting a win to a coalition of Democratic attorneys general from 19 states who filed a lawsuit. That ruling sparked outcry from Trump allies - including Musk and Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller - who said it blocked Bessent, who was confirmed by the Senate on January 28, from accessing the systems.
