Judge continues to block Musk, DOGE from Treasury data while mulling injunction

The article discusses a legal battle involving Elon Musk, Dogecoin, and the U.S. Treasury Department.

The Treasury Department had previously denied a Freedom of Information Act request for communications related to Musk and Dogecoin, citing exemptions for law enforcement and deliberative process.
