President Donald Trump's second administration continued its swift recasting of the federal government, prompting pushback from Democrats and legal challenges.

The president said Sunday that he will announce tariffs on all imported steel and aluminum on Monday but didn't say when they'll take effect.

Trump, meanwhile, is at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday night to take in the Super Bowl. Trump picked the Kansas City Chiefs to beat the Philadelphia Eagles in an interview aired before the game on Fox.

CFPB HQ shuts down amid DOGE takeover

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's headquarters in Washington will be closed all week as the Trump administration continues to take aim at the government watchdog charged with safeguarding American consumers’ finances, according to an email obtained by ABC News.

"Dear Colleagues: The DC Headquarters Building will be closed this week (2/10-2/14). Employees and contractors are to work remotely unless instructed otherwise from our Acting Director or his designee," the email sent to staff on Sunday from CFPB Chief Operating Officer Adam Martinez reads.

The CFPB's move to close its offices to staff mimics the playbook Elon Musk's DOGE used as it moved to shut down USAID last week, as staff were informed late Sunday that offices would be closed and they should work from home.

ABC News previously reported that Russell Vought, the newly confirmed director of the Office of Management and Budget, had been named acting director of the CFPB and informed staff over the weekend to “cease all supervision and examination activity” and “cease all stakeholder engagement” effective immediately.

DOGE staffers gained access to CFPB on Thursday and the agency's chief operating officer informed staff via email that DOGE employees had entered the agency’s offices in D.C. and would require “read-only access” to key internal systems, according to an email reviewed by ABC News.

Musk attacks judge who blocked DOGE as ‘corrupt’

Over the weekend, Elon Musk used his social media platform X to target a federal judge who blocked his DOGE team from accessing sensitive taxpayer data, attacking the judge as "corrupt," with seemingly no evidence of corruption beyond the billionaire's disagreement with the ruling.

Since the ruling on Friday, Musk has posted repeatedly on X to his over 216 million followers, attacking U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer as "corrupt," calling for his impeachment, and appearing to suggest defying the court’s order -- including amplifying a post with the judge's name that now has more than 6 million impressions.

Musk's targeting of the judge mirrors his previous attack campaigns, where he has turned his own social media platform and massive following into political pressure.

Trump says Musk 'not gaining anything' from DOGE

Asked if he trusts Elon Musk, President Trump said the billionaire is "not gaining anything" from his position with the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.

"He's not gaining anything. In fact, I wonder how he can devote the time to it. He's so into it. But I told him to do that," Trump told Fox News' Bret Baier in an excerpt from an interview that will air Sunday afternoon ahead of the Super Bowl.

Trump told Baier the next government agency he'll have Musk investigate is the Department of Education, adding that he was elected to reduce government waste.

"Then I'm going to tell him very soon, like maybe in 24 hours, to go check the Department of Education. He's going to find the same thing. Then I'm going to go to the military. Let's check the military, we're going to find billions -- hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and abuse. And you know the people elected me on that.”

The full interview with Fox will air Sunday afternoon.
