Several lawsuits have already been filed against the Trump administration, mostly involving Elon Musk

Within minutes of Trump taking office, at least three lawsuits were filed in federal court in Washington, seeking to suspend Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) until it complies with transparency rules for government advisory bodies.

The lawsuits allege that the initiative, announced by Trump to combat government waste, violates the Federal Advisory Committees Act (FACA) by giving private entities power to make government decisions without mandatory public disclosure procedures.

Days after his November election victory, Trump pledged to create DOGE, which would be led by Elon Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. Trump mentioned the agency in his inauguration speech.

Ramaswamy recently left the project to run for governor of Ohio, but he and Musk have previously proposed ideas such as "mass layoffs of government employees" chosen randomly from their list.

The president does not have the authority to create formal government departments without congressional approval, but Trump appears intent on calling this project an "agency" despite the legal restrictions.

The first lawsuit, filed by Public Citizen, the State Democracy Defenders Fund, and the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), alleges that DOGE violated FACA. The complaint says the law is designed to prevent such initiatives from becoming vehicles for private interests to advance in government decision-making.

“The fight to protect democracy will not only be fought in the courts, but also in public opinion,” said Norm Eisen, co-founder of State Democracy Defenders Action. “We, along with our colleagues at Public Citizen and AFGE, wanted to show that we have a strong legal position. We are not afraid to speak out against the authoritarian initiatives of the new president.”

Other lawsuits were filed by National Security Counselors, Democracy Forward and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

A fourth lawsuit filed by the Center for Biological Diversity seeks all Office of Management and Budget documents related to DOGE.

It’s clear that the Trump administration anticipated legal challenges to the spending-cutting initiative. In December, the president-elect announced that Washington election lawyer William McGinley would serve as the project’s lead attorney.

Trump had previously planned to appoint McGinley as White House counsel, but later gave the job to David Warrington, the lawyer who represented him in civil lawsuits related to the violence at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
