The #Trump admin is appealing a judge’s order requiring #ElonMusk & #DOGE to comply w/evidence demands from Democratic state ofcls who claim the #billionaire is exercising #unconstitutional #power across the US govt.
The #DOJ is arguing the lower court judge’s “unusual & highly invasive” order “raises grievous separation-of-powers concerns” by requiring a presidential adviser & the WH to turn over info about their activities….

The US District Court of Appeals for DC just issued an order “Upon consideration of the petition for writ of mandamus & the emergency
motion for a stay” in NM v #ElonMusk
It “ORDERED that respondents file responses to both the emergency motion &
the mandamus petition by 5PM on Mon, March 24, 2025. Any replies are due
by 5PM on Tues, March 25, 2025.”
The same judges hearing #Trump’s #AliensEnemiesAct appeal are hearing Musk’s appeal: Henderson, Millett, & Walker
@Nonilex Ohhhh. I expect to read some incoming and completely unhinged rants on certain social media quite soon. Or else they will simply ignore all of it.
If the lower court's order was unusual, it's because the circumstances of Trump and Musk are unprecedented.
