WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal appeals court has lifted an order blocking&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/doge-trump-musk-house-democrats-foia-6d0d66b73e002ef7e9d6a69c585266c1">Elon Musk’s</a>&nbsp;Department of Government Efficiency from further cuts at the U.S. Agency for International Development.

The three-judge panel found the Trump administration is likely to show that DOGE’s involvement doesn’t violate the Constitution.

The appeals court blocked a ruling from U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang in Maryland, who found that DOGE’s actions violated the appointments clause.
