| Chief Justice John Roberts grants Trump admin request to pause discovery in DOGE case |
| 2025-05-24 |
| [JustTheNews] Chief Justice of the United States John Roberts on Friday approved the Trump administration's request for an administrative stay in a lawsuit seeking documents about the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) operations. Solicitor General D. John Sauer filed the request on Wednesday, one of the many emergency requests he's made since January, which asked the high court to stop DOGE from being forced to release records to the watchdog organization, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, through its Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Sauer argued that DOGE should be exempt from complying with FOIA requests because it is a presidential advisory group. The White House has also tried to argue that documents procured by DOGE are presidential records, and thereby exempt from FOIA. Roberts made the decision alone because he handles all emergency appeals that arise from Washington, D.C., and the pause will remain in effect until the Supreme Court decides whether to make it permanent. Roberts can make that decision alone, or the full court can weigh in, per The Hill.

| #1 It does raise the questions. Is DOGE uncovering some things that really need to be kept hidden for now? Things that would tip off lawbreakers, allowing the movement/hidding of illegally obtained $$$$ before arrests. Or did DOGE uncover some R's and RINO's milking the system? Or heck, Since Roberts suddenly sided with Trump on something, give his general Anti-MAGA record. Maybe the SCOTUS Liberals playing politics for rewards. Net worth of the SCOTUS Justices |
