Trading Nvidia earnings report? These are the entry and exit levels to watch for
Investing.com -- New York Attorney General Letitia James, along with a coalition of 12 attorneys general, has issued a statement in response to the U.S. Department of the Treasury granting Elon Musk and his "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) staffers access to sensitive payment systems containing Americans’ personally identifiable information.
The Treasury Department has given Musk access to personal private information, state bank account data, and other sensitive data within the past week. Musk, known as the world’s wealthiest individual, has been granted this level of access, which the attorneys general describe as unlawful, unprecedented, and unacceptable.
The statement emphasized that in the United States, no one is above the law, including Musk. It was pointed out that the President does not have the authority to distribute private information at his discretion, nor can he withhold federal payments approved by Congress.
The DOGE, according to the statement, has explicitly sought access to this information to block critical payments that millions of Americans depend on. These payments are vital for supporting healthcare, childcare, and other essential programs.
In defense of the Constitution, the right to privacy, and the essential funding that individuals and communities nationwide depend on, the attorneys general announced they will be filing a lawsuit to stop this perceived injustice.
Joining Attorney General James in releasing this statement are the attorneys general of Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
