Public Citizen, inv. v. President Trump (D.D.C. No. 164)
Case Overview
Public Citizen, State Democracy Defenders Fund, and the American Federation of Government Employees sued President Trump and the OMB to ensure the Department of Government Efficiency complies with the Federal Advisory Committee Act. This case was consolidated with similar suits from the American Public Health Association and National Security Counselors.
The Application
Plaintiffs allege that DOGE functions as a federal advisory committee under FACA and therefore must comply with statutory transparency and procedural requirements despite any asserted executive privilege or exemptions.
The Conclusion
The case remains active in the D.C. District Court before Judge Jia M. Cobb following consolidation with related suits; no ruling has been issued on the merits of whether DOGE qualifies as a FACA committee.
