Judge Orders Removal of Viral DOGE Deposition Clips

TL;DR Summary
A Manhattan federal judge ordered removal of online video depositions of two former DOGE employees after viral clips mocked them and spurred harassment; the deposition videos were posted by scholarly groups challenging grant cuts, raising First Amendment concerns, and the government argued the posts endangered witnesses. The judge directed the groups to claw back the videos and scheduled a hearing, with some outlets having already embedded the clips in coverage.
