The Trump White House and Treasury Department officials have reached an agreement to limit DOGE's access to IRS data, citing privacy concerns.

While DOGE says it needs taxpayer data to search out "waste, fraud, and abuse," such a move puts at risk personal information on more than 150 million tax filers.

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency is seeking access to the Internal Revenue Service’s highly sensitive taxpayer data system, a source familiar with the move tells CNN.
