What was the federal court's ruling on the Department of Government Efficiency (DoGE) and Elon Musk's role?

Federal Judge Tanya Chutkan denied a request from Democratic state attorneys general to block the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DoGE) from accessing data or terminating federal employees at certain agencies. While the judge sided with DoGE, she expressed skepticism about Elon Musk's involvement in the department. The White House maintains that Musk is not in charge of DoGE but serves as a senior adviser to the President with no formal authority to make government decisions. This ruling allows the DoGE to continue its operations despite legal challenges from 14 Democratic states questioning Musk's authority in the administration.
