The nonprofit Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington is suing the Trump administration to uncover details about Doge's dealings in the U.S. government. The lawsuit argues Doge is exceeding its legal authority and asks that internal communications, financial disclosures and other documents be released to the public.

The startup bears a striking resemblance to Theranos, Holmes' fraudulent blood testing company that led to her 11-year sentence. A source close to the effort told NPR Holmes has been providing advice to Evans as he develops the company.
