Summary

Judge Tanya Chutkan, who presided over Donald Trump’s election interference case, has been assigned a major lawsuit challenging Elon Musk’s authority in the federal government.

The suit, filed by 14 states, claims Musk wields unprecedented executive power, including control over federal funds and agencies.

Chutkan, a frequent Trump critic, previously imposed a gag order on him.

While Trump and Musk have yet to comment, right-wing figures are already attacking Chutkan, signaling an upcoming political and legal battle over executive power.

      I don’t think it’s been 10y. I just checked and she’s 22 now. She started protesting with she was 15. So more like 7y. That would have been during the 1st Trump admin I guess.
