In multiple cases, President Donald Trump ’s legal foes are making somewhat extraordinary requests for judges to order the government to turn over internal documents, explain its decision-making and even require depositions from administration officials.

Some judges have already signaled openness to such requests, remarking upon the lack of public clarity about who is behind the major decisions that have upended the federal government and about how DOGE in particular is operating.

FBI agents want to know who designed a survey that FBI employees were required to complete about their involvement in the January 6 probes.

They also want any internal documents and communications that would shed light on what the administration is intending to do with the list of employees involved in that investigation.

“This is an emergent and concerning situation,” a legal advocacy group says.
