- A federal judge ordered Elon Musk and Dodge to prepare a record and answer questions about their work.
- Cania and Dodge have been given three weeks to comply with the order.
- Musk’s government performance commission has been subjected to about two dozen legal proceedings.
A federal judge ordered questions about the performance of Elon Musk and the government, or the government, to hand over documents and their plans to trim the federal agencies.
US District Judge Tanya Chatkin said in his ruling on Wednesday that Musk and Dodge would have to comply with the request for discovery within three weeks.
Under the order, the record and the Dodge must change the records related to their plans to eliminate federal agencies, eliminate federal employees and cancel federal contracts. The request for this discovery does not apply to President Donald Trump, who signed an executive order on January 20, the day he took power.
Last month, 14 Democratic State Attorney General filed Federal Case Against Trump, Kasturi, and Dodge. In his legal proceedings, the lawyers’ general asked the court to “restore the constitutional order” and to stop the habitat from issuing the order to anyone in the executive branch outside the Dodge. “
It was legally argued that “Mr Musk does not occupy any office in the United States and has not been nominated for the certified office by the Senate. Thus his officers -level measures are unconstitutional.”
Chatkin denied the petition in a decision issued on February 18, writing that it could not issue states to temporarily prevented the states against the “accessories, irreparable damage” without clear evidence of irreparable damage.
Nevertheless, Chatkin acknowledged in his decision that the lawyers’ general “legally raised the question that it seems that the unmanned authority of an elected person and an institution that was not created by Congress and has no monitoring.”
Since the beginning of Trump’s second term, Musk and Dodge have faced about two dozen legal proceedings. Efforts to reduce costs by leaving thousands of federal activists and shutting down foreign aid programs have led to fear and confusion in the entire government.
This is not the first time that Musk and Dodge have been ordered to change their work records.
On Monday, District Judge Christopher Cooper ordered Musk and Dodge to release some of his records to comply with the Watch Dog Nafati’s three requests for the Information Act.
In his judgment, Cooper wrote that the Dodge is working with “extraordinary privacy” and that responding to the FOIA’s requests will “do irreparable harm to the public indefinitely”.
When asked about the Cooper’s decision, a spokesman for the Justice Department told the Business Insider on Tuesday that Musk and Dodge were “protecting the historic money of taxpayers from spending on unsafe bureaucratic pet projects.”
The spokesman added, “This department is already fighting in court to defend President Trump’s agenda and will continue, especially when the taxpayer’s dollar was wasted, fraud and misuse.”
Representatives of DOG and DOJ did not respond to requests for comment from BI.
