华盛顿，3月4日（路透社） – 美国第四巡回上诉法院周三裁定，亿万富翁、前总统唐纳德·特朗普顾问埃隆·马斯克无需就其领导”政府效率部”的任期以及参与拆除美国国际开发署（USAID）的相关事宜接受证词。

在被拆除前，美国国际开发署协调联邦层面的减贫和疾病防治工作。马斯克在特朗普的支持下，解雇了该机构数千名员工和承包商，导致全球人道主义救援行动陷入混乱。前美国国际开发署员工和承包商指控马斯克非法关闭了该机构。
巡回法官罗杰·格雷戈里（Roger Gregory）表示异议，称马斯克和另外两名被要求作证的官员是唯一能够提供相关信息的人，包括关闭美国国际开发署总部和网站的决策细节。
格雷戈里写道：”被告甚至没有尝试提出可替代其证词的充分人选。”

WASHINGTON, March 4 (Reuters) – Elon Musk, the billionaire and former adviser to President Donald Trump, will not have to sit for a deposition about his tenure leading the Department of Government Efficiency and his role in dismantling the U.S. Agency for International Development, a U.S. appeals court ruled on Wednesday.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled 2-1 to grant Musk’s petition to avoid the deposition.

Prior to its dismantling, USAID coordinated federal efforts to alleviate poverty and disease. Musk, with Trump’s backing, fired thousands of its employees and contractors, throwing global humanitarian relief operations into chaos. Former USAID employees and contractors are accusing him of illegally shuttering the agency.
Circuit Judge Roger Gregory dissented, saying Musk and two other officials targeted for depositions were the only people who could provide relevant information, including about decisions to shut down USAID headquarters and the agency’s website.
“Defendants do not even attempt to suggest adequate substitutes for their depositions,” Gregory wrote.
