Other organizations submitted similar complaints at the same time. Conclusion: Without the legal proceedings, the public would probably have learned nothing about many activities of Elon Musk’s Doge employees in the first months of the term.

The balance sheet: By August 28, 384 complaints against the Trump government had been submitted. 130 of them would have led to orders. According to the report, these block at least part of Trump’s efforts. A decision is still pending in another 148 cases. “The only way we could really achieve was to complain because everything else was ineffective,” says Eisen to “The Atlantic”.
Trump consultant Stephen Miller is annoyed by the flood of lawsuits against the US President. They would only steal the time of their term, according to the accusation. But ultimately, judges would need this basis for their judgments: plaintiffs have a case, investigators collect facts as well as statements and lawyers form all of this into legal theories that find their way into judicial judgments. And without legal proceedings, all allegations against Trump would not reach the public.
“This is something that the government of the legal community would not have believed,” says Skye Perryman, President and CEO of Democracy Forward, the magazine. The demand for lawyers who are willing to defend people against the government is now exponentially greater than on the first day. “We believe that the next 200 days will be even more important than the first 200 days.”
