The Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to hear a long-running fight over how much DOGE must disclose about its operations. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) sued after DOGE failed to turn over records requested under the Freedom of Information Act. The core question: Is DOGE a federal agency subject to public records law, or a presidential advisory group that can keep its work private, as the administration argues? Two lower courts sided with CREW and ordered DOGE to hand over documents. But in June 2025, the Supreme Court’s conservative majority paused that order, with the three liberal justices dissenting. Oral arguments are expected early next year, with a ruling by summer.
