While the Trump administration and Musk are already facing numerous lawsuits, President Trump on Saturday wrote online, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.” California Senator Adam Schiff responded by writing, “Spoken like a true dictator.”

The Trump administration has submitted its first appeal to the Supreme Court seeking approval for the president to fire the head of the Office of Special Counsel, an independent agency that investigates whistleblower reports filed by government workers. The official, Hampton Dellinger, says his firing was illegal. Two lower courts have ruled against the Trump administration so far.
