The legal resistance to President Donald Trump has already begun.
Within minutes of Trump taking the oath of office, at least three lawsuits were filed in federal court in Washington, seeking to shut down Elon Musk's "Department of Government Efficiency" until it complies with transparency rules related to governmental advisory entities.
The lawsuits allege that the project Trump announced to target government waste violates the Federal Advisory Committee Act by giving private individuals roles in the government decision-making process without the public access the law requires.
