🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Trump Administration files Emergency Motion to Vacate TRO which prohibits political appointees from accessing Treasury Dep't databases. 1/
2/ Main focus is outrageous interference on Executive oversight by political appointees, but also highlights fact that contractors also have access to databases that everyone was screaming would be at risk if Musk had access to.
3/3 Trump asks for Stay if TRO isn't vacated or at least modified to seek an appeal. Full Motion here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
