In the immediate aftermath of Trump's Presidential inauguration, Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was hit with lawsuits alleging violations of federal transparency and ethics laws.
The lawsuit, brought by the American Public Health Association, American Federation of Teachers, Minority Veterans of America, VoteVets Action Fund, Center for Auto Safety, and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW)—represented by Democracy Forward and CREW—alleges that the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is violating the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), according to Citizens for Ethics.
