President-elect Donald Trump's government advisory panel, led by billionaire ally Elon Musk, will be sued soon after Monday's inauguration, The Washington Post reports, citing a copy of the planned complaint by a public interest law firm.
The 30-page complaint, the Post reports, prepared by National Security Counselors says the nongovernmental Department of Government Efficienty violates federal transparency rules.
The lawsuit alleges that DOGE meets the requirements to be considered a "federal advisory committee," and appears to have failed to meet the requirements of a 1972 law that established rules on disclosure, hiring, and other practices.
