WASHINGTON—Vice President JD Vance and Elon Musk led a conservative chorus criticizing a federal judge who for now has restricted the ability of Musk allies to access the Treasury Department payment system,

The lawsuit alleged the breach of sensitive Treasury Department data "poses huge cybersecurity risks" and violates multiple federal laws.

The judge also ordered Musk and his team to “immediately destroy any and all copies of material downloaded from Treasury Department’s records and systems, if any.”
