They very likely do have access to the Windows source code. Microsoft does share that with certain governments & educational institutions. I think the Chinese government also has access, FWIW, but it's been a long time since I looked into this.

I got personal access to the Windows source along with many others via the MS MVP program.

And it's unlikely that even if MS was secretive that the USG cannot get multiple people working at MS with access.
