2:14Now PlayingA federal judge ruled Tuesday that President Trump’s right-hand man, Elon Musk, likely acted unconstitutionally with his directive to dismantle the US Agency for International Development (USAID) — and blocked the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from making further cuts. NY Post politics reporter Diana Glebova shares this story.
Maryland US District Judge Theodore Chuang imposed a preliminary injunction, ordering the Trump administration to restore email and computer access to all employees at USAID, including those who were placed on administrative leave.
Chuang, who was nominated to the federal bench by former President Barack Obama, also broadly restricted Musk and DOGE from taking actions against USAID without “express authorization” from an official at the agency.
“The court finds that Defendants’ unilateral actions to shut down USAID likely violated the United States Constitution,” Chuang wrote in a blistering 68-page ruling, giving the White House seven days to confirm in writing that email and computer access was restored to USAID employees.
The administration also has two weeks to submit documentation ensuring USAID “will be able to reoccupy USAID headquarters at its original location.”
