First Lawsuits Filed Against Trump Administration For DOGE These lawsuits are the first of what will be many to come Ron Filipkowski Jan 20 The first lawsuits against the incoming Trump Administration have already been filed by several non-profit groups which allege that the Department of Government Efficiency "DOGE" violates federal transparency laws. The lawsuits allege that DOGE fails to comply with various transparency and ethics requirements as prescribed by the Federal Advisory Committee Act. DOGE is not an official government agency, but will act as though it is an outside advisory committee that will support the Administration. In fact, the New York Times recently reported that Elon Musk, the leader of DOGE, will have office space inside of the White House complex. This lawsuit seeks to invalidate DOGE as a concept if it fails to comply with longstanding federal ethics laws. This lawsuit is also the first of what will likely be a bevy of lawsuits filed against the Trump Administration in the coming days and weeks as Trump signs additional executive actions.
