The US Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to decide ​whether President Donald Trump’s administration can avoid handing over records to a watchdog group about its Department of Government Efficiency, an initiative aimed ‌at slashing agency budgets and workers spearheaded last year by his former adviser Elon Musk.

The justices took up the administration’s appeal of a federal judge’s order for DOGE to respond to requests by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington for information about its operations. The court is expected to hear arguments in the case and issue a ruling by the end of ​June.
