Feb 8 (Reuters) - A federal judge early Saturday temporarily blocked a Trump administration panel led by billionaire Elon Musk from accessing government systems used to process trillions of dollars in payments, citing a risk that sensitive and confidential information could be improperly disclosed.
U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer in Manhattan issued the order after a coalition of 19 mostly Democratic-led U.S. states filed a lawsuit late Friday arguing Musk's Department of Government Efficiency has no legal power to access the U.S. Department of Treasury systems.
