This is a coup! U.S. Institute for Peace called the DC police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the DC police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.

This investigation is an attempt to dismantle Biden-era climate initiatives under the pretense of financial oversight. By using law enforcement to target climate funding, the Trump administration is leveraging the legal system for political gain.
