美国最高法院已同意审理一起监督组织提起的诉讼，该诉讼旨在获取有关亿万富翁埃隆·马斯克的政府效率部（DOGE）的公共记录。
The United States Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments in a watchdog’s lawsuit seeking public records about trillionaire Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
最高法院将于周二第二次介入华盛顿“责任与道德公民”（CREW）的案件，该案件旨在获取DOGE在特朗普总统第二个任期早期运营期间的记录。特朗普政府曾要求法院受理此案。
The high court is intervening on Tuesday for a second time in Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics (CREW) in Washington’s case, which seeks access to DOGE records from its operations in the early days of US President Donald Trump’s second term. The Trump administration asked the court to hear the case.
去年，最高法院曾限制地方法院要求政府向CREW提供DOGE相关记录的命令。最高法院保守派多数在2025年6月得出结论，认为美国地方法院法官克里斯托弗·库珀在命令向该组织移交文件时过于宽泛。
Last year, the high court reined in a district court’s order for the government to produce DOGE-related records to CREW. The high court’s conservative majority concluded in June 2025 that US District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled too broadly in ordering documents to be turned over to the group.
CREW主张DOGE是一个联邦机构，因此应受《信息自由法》（FOIA）的约束。
CREW claims DOGE is a federal agency and therefore is subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
特朗普政府则认为，DOGE作为总统顾问机构，应豁免于FOIA的要求。
The Trump administration argues that DOGE is exempt from FOIA’s requirements as a presidential advisory body.
库珀法官曾裁定CREW胜诉，并命令加快处理该组织的记录请求。上诉法院小组也曾站在CREW一边。
Cooper ruled in CREW’s favour and ordered expedited processing of the group’s records request. An appeals court panel also sided with CREW.
特朗普政府称，该上诉小组忽视了最高法院关于考虑权力分离问题的指示，并侵犯了总统顾问的“自主性和保密性”。
The Trump administration claims the panel ignored the Supreme Court’s direction to consider separation-of-powers concerns and intruded on the “autonomy and confidentiality” of presidential advisers.
“将顾问机构纳入侵入性证据开示程序，将触发国会通过将总统顾问机构排除在FOIA范围之外所试图避免的担忧，”美国司法部律师写道。
“Subjecting advisory bodies to intrusive discovery triggers the very concerns that Congress sought to avoid by excluding presidential advisory bodies from FOIA’s reach,” US Department of Justice lawyers wrote.
政府还称，上诉法院擅自授权原告对DOGE代理行政官艾米·格莱森进行宣誓证词的取证。
The administration also says the appeals court impermissibly authorised the plaintiffs to take a sworn deposition of DOGE acting administrator Amy Gleason.
CREW表示，上诉法院完全遵守了最高法院此前的命令。该组织还主张，公众有权知道DOGE在2025年如何协助政府对政府运营进行全面改革。
CREW says the appeals court fully complied with the Supreme Court’s previous order. The group also asserts that the public has a right to know how DOGE helped the administration carry out a sweeping overhaul of government operations in 2025.
“公开记录中的无可争议的事实——包括总统的声明——都证实了‘DOGE’在联邦政府内部拥有巨大的独立权力，”CREW律师事务所的律师们写道。
“Undisputed facts in the public record — including the President’s statements — confirmed that (DOGE) was wielding enormous independent authority across the federal government,” CREW lawyers wrote.
CREW律师事务所的律师尼克尔·苏斯（Nikhel Sus）在周二的一份声明中表示，下级法院一致裁定，CREW有权获取相关记录，这些记录有助于判断‘DOGE’是否拥有应受《信息自由法》约束的权力。
In a statement Tuesday, CREW lawyer Nikhel Sus said the lower courts have uniformly ruled that it is entitled to records that could help the court determine whether DOGE wields the type of authority that would make it subject to the Freedom of Information Act.
苏斯在声明中称：“我们将继续为美国人民争取透明度；他们有权了解特朗普政府试图单方面改组联邦政府的详细情况。”
“We will continue to pursue transparency for the American people, who deserve to know the details of the Trump Administration’s efforts to unilaterally remake the federal government,” Sus said in the statement.
‘DOGE’声称自己已经削减了数百亿美元的支出，但外界金融专家很难核实其这些说法的真实性。
DOGE said it had slashed tens of billions of dollars in expenditures, but its claims were difficult for outside financial experts to verify.
根据美国政府问责局（Government Accountability Office）的报告，联邦审计人员发现，‘DOGE’所宣称的通过合同终止、拨款取消或租赁协议终止等方式节省的支出存在问题：部分节省金额缺乏证据支持；还有一些终止行为实际上发生在‘DOGE’成立之前。
Federal auditors found that some of DOGE’s reported savings across contract, grant and lease terminations were incorrect, lacked supporting evidence or included terminations that were already under way when DOGE was established, according to a report by the Government Accountability Office.
