It will be the first time someone involved with DOGE is required to answer questions under oath from an attorney outside the government, potentially providing new insights into the operations of an organization that U.S. District Court Judge John Bates characterized as “opaque” in his order.

I’m sorry but this isn’t getting enough attention.
When RFK Jr. was asked about a young child who died of measles in Texas, he responded “It's not unusual. We have measles outbreaks all the time.”
This is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years.
