Trump administration asks Supreme Court to block FOIA case against DOGE
ABC NewsWednesday, May 21, 2025 at 3:59:10 PM
The Trump administration is pushing the Supreme Court to hit pause on a legal battle over a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request targeting DOGE—yes, the meme cryptocurrency. They’re asking for an emergency injunction to stop the case in its tracks, though the details of what’s being hidden (or why) aren’t totally clear yet.
What This Means: This isn’t just bureaucratic red tape—it’s a high-stakes fight over public access to information. If the administration succeeds in shutting down the FOIA request, it could set a worrying precedent for keeping government dealings with emerging tech (even meme-based ones) under wraps. Whether you care about crypto or not, it’s a test of how much sunlight gets let into the room when the feds are involved.
