The Application

History

Judge Cooper ordered discovery of DOGE administrator Gleason's deposition and documents concerning inter-agency communications. The government appealed, challenging either the discovery scope as exceeding proper bounds or invoking executive privilege over the requested materials.

The Conclusion

The D.C. Circuit decided the appeal, ruling on the permissibility of Judge Cooper's discovery order regarding DOGE's communications and the applicability of privilege protections.
