Two unions and an associated nonprofit have filed a lawsuit against Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the Treasury Department, and Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service, challenging the access the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been granted to Americans’ financial records.

The complaint from the Service Employees International Union, the AFL-CIO’s American Federation of Government Employees, and the Alliance for Retired Americans asks the D.C. District Court to declare DOGE’s ability to obtain and view Fiscal Service records unlawful and to immediately bar DOGE’s access to those records.
