DOGE Head Must Testify in Records Access Fight, Court Rules

The Trump administration must disclose certain information about the Department of Government Efficiency to a watchdog advocacy group and make DOGE’s administrator Amy Gleason available to testify, a US appeals court in Washington ruled.

The Monday order is a setback for the administration, which won an earlier round before the US Supreme Court this year. A majority of justices held in June that a US district judge went too far in ordering the administration to comply with demands for written answers and documents about President Donald Trump’s cost-cutting program. The Supreme Court sent the case back with instructions to “narrow” information DOGE had to give up.
