The lawyer pointed to Trump's saying during his joint address to Congress that the Department of Government Efficiency "is headed by Elon Musk."

Summary

Lawyers challenging DOGE’s legality filed new evidence after Trump stated during his congressional address that Elon Musk “heads” the Department of Government Efficiency.

This contradicts previous White House statements designating Amy Gleason as acting administrator while describing Musk only as a “special government employee” and advisor.

The case centers on determining who actually leads DOGE, with legal analysts suggesting the ambiguity may be intentional to shield Musk and the department from lawsuits.
