Sierra Club Sues DOGE for Docs

The Sierra Club is suing the Department of Government Efficiency for withholding public communication records between senior DOGE staffers — including tech billionaire and former DOGE leader Elon Musk — and fossil fuel industry figures.

The complaint from the Sierra Club, filed Wednesday in federal court in Oakland, California, accuses the federal budget-slashing task force of violating the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by failing to release requested emails and other records that could potentially show how outside interests may have influenced DOGE’s sweeping cuts to federal programs.
