The article discusses the legal battle between the Trump administration and a coalition of 19 attorneys general, led by New York's Letitia James, regarding court-ordered restrictions on access to the Treasury Department's systems by Elon Musk's aides. The Trump administration claims that the court's intervention infringes on presidential powers, arguing for the right to appoint officials within the executive branch without judicial interference. A U.S. district judge had previously ordered the Musk-affiliated officials to destroy any copies of sensitive data they accessed, citing concerns over security and leaks. The administration labeled the judge’s ruling as overly broad and unconstitutional, asserting it disrupts the balance of powers.

Key Points:

• Trump administration argues courts cannot block Musk's aides from accessing Treasury systems.
• A lawsuit by 19 attorneys general claims the administration's actions allow unlawful access to sensitive information.
• U.S. district judge ordered immediate destruction of any accessed data due to security risks.
• Administration claims the court order violates separation of powers and the president's appointing authority.
• Vice President JD Vance asserted that the courts have no control over executive powers.
• Trump criticized the judge's ruling as a "disgrace."
