Judge Rules Elon Musk Can’t Avoid Deposition in DOGE Case
"A federal judge in Maryland denied a request to block depositions of billionaire Elon Musk and two former colleagues in a lawsuit challenging action tied to the shutdown of the U.S. Agency for International Development.
U.S. District Judge Theodore D. Chuang ruled the proposed testimony is justified and not barred by protections for high-ranking officials, according to court records.
Chuang rejected a motion for a protective order that sought to prevent depositions of Musk, former acting USAID deputy administrator Peter Marocco, and former DOGE team lead Jeremy Lewin, concluding the plaintiffs had shown the witnesses likely have first-hand knowledge essential to the case and that the information is not obtainable from other sources."
