联邦政府可能取消联邦法庭的160个租房合同

U.S. President Donald Trump and billionaire ally Elon Musk's push to radically overhaul the federal government is now reaching the U.S. court system with a demand that the judiciary justify why the administration should not cancel leases for space it utilizes at 160 locations nationally.

The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, the federal judiciary's administrative arm, in an internal memo issued on Thursday said it received the lease inquiry from the U.S. General Services Administration, which manages federal property for various parts of the government including the courts.

Those potential lease cancellations were one of a number of issues the memo sought to address arising from what it described as the "fast pace" and "highly dynamic situation" presented by executive branch agencies seeking to carry out Trump's agenda.

The leases are for spaces at about 160 locations that are utilized by courts and federal public defender offices, which are part of the judiciary and provide lawyers for indigent criminal defendants, according to the memo.
