On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court gave a temporary stay to a lower court's demand for a top Trump administration official to testify in court.
In a lawsuit from the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a district court ordered the "alleged acting administrator of DOGE" to testify in court, said Lawfare's Anna Bower on Bluesky.
DOGE is the acronym for the Department of Government Efficiency, founded by President Donald Trump on his first day in office through executive order. He then tasked tech billionaire Elon Musk to spearhead the project that aims to significantly cut federal spending and staff.
Despite Musk's work, in February, the Whtie House announced that Gleason would serve as the "acting administrator," NBC News reported.

CREW filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for documents and details about the department, including testimony from Gleason.
Bower said that the stay is a "routine administrative stay" in effect until the Supreme Court rules officially on the matter.
"Now we wait to see what the court will order," she wrote.
