Elon Musk's DOGE to be sued minutes after Donald Trump's inauguration
CBSN
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's cost-cutting effort, the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, will be sued shortly after President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration at noon EST on Jan. 20.
The lawsuit, from a public interest law firm called National Security Counselors, claims DOGE is operating as a federal advisory committee, and as thus is violating a law called the Federal Advisory Committee Act, or FACA, which regulates the functions and transparency of federal advisory committees.
FACA requires these groups to be "fairly balanced in terms of the points of view represented and the functions to be performed by the advisory committee," the lawsuit states. The lawsuit will be filed shortly after noon in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, National Security Counselors told CBS MoneyWatch.
