it's too soon to tell how serious president trump is in defiance of the constitution. in his first 28 days, he signed an order to nullify birth right citizenship for some, a right guaranteed by the 14th amendment, and he has closed agencies and frozen spending that congress mandated by law. lower courts are holding up many of the president's priorities, but nothing has risen to the supreme court, where these battles over presidential power could rewrite history. presidents often push limits. fdr's new deal, for example. and voters in this last election wanted change. but the scope and speed of trump's reach for power may be unp unprecedented. one example is a 63-year-old

agecy created by congress codified in law and eviscerated by trump in a matter of days. >> people are really scared. i think that, you know, 12 days ago, people knew where their next paycheck was coming from. they knew how they were going to pay for their kids' daycare, their medical bills. and then all gone overnight. >> all gone overnight for christina dry and adam dubard fired this month in the chaotic shutdown of foreign aid. more than 8,000 usaid employees were sent home by the administration. >> they're not looking for competency. they're not looking for if you're good at your job. they're looking for pure loyalty tests. and if you don't give it, you will be punished. >> and they had to leave the building. and these are folks who had decades and decades of public

service serving usaid across administrations from the george bush to obama and the first trump administration. and weren't able to walk in the building again. >> there was no process? no one explained to them why they were being relieved? >> to my knowledge, they received an email and if they did not leave the building, they were escorted out of the building. >> usaid was dismantled on trump's order, even though it's mandated by congress and its funding is required by law. the president says he has the authority to shut down an independent agency like usaid. >> he most definitely does not. >> reporter: this man is a former member of the republican national committee. he's a professor of government, and in the bush white house, he was administrator of usaid.

>> he cannot resend federal law. you can't resend that without an act of the congress. and the congress has not acted. >> acting on his own, the president started by destroying usaid's image. in online posts, the administration smeared usaid as, quote, a criminal organization, and called employees, worms. >> usaid, it's a disaster what the people -- radical left lunatics. >> about usaid, president trump has said, quote, billions of dollars have been stolen, the whole thing is a fraud. >> it's utter nonsense. the most accountable aid agency in the world is usaid. i've written actually widely on this subject. 40% of the staff are accountants and lawyers and people trying to

make sure no money is stolen. we've created systems to monitor that. what they did was they went back 20 years to try to find things. if you have to go back 20 years to find abuse, that means there isn't that much abuse. >> usaid spending in 2023 was 38 billion. that's less than 1% of the federal budget. he told us there is waste and occasional fraud like any big agency -- think of the pentagon. but the money, he says, is watched by officials, including those in the omb, the office of management and budget. >> the question is, why did the congress approve all these contracts and grants and programs all these years? why did the state department, f office -- the f office controls all foreign aid spending. every line item in the usaid budget is approved by three different bodies, the f office, the omb, and congressional

committees, of which there are four. no one caught all these horrible abuses? that's just not believable. >> instead of asking congress to change the law, trump handed the budget acts to billionaire elon musk. musk is racing through the government, cutting jobs and budgets with his own newly-created organization he calls d.o.g.e., or the department of government efficiency. >> the people voted for major government reform. there should be no doubt about that. >> d.o.g.e. was thoauthorized b trump. and beginning in january, d.o.g.e. engineers gained wide access to computer networks of the u.s. treasury. a longtime treasury official who tried to stop them was put on leave. now d.o.g.e. has accessed at least 19 other agencies. >> you're principally reporting on what's happened to usaid. it's a dress rehearsal. >> chris coons is a democratic

senator from delaware, a member of the committees on appropriations and foreign relations. >> next up is the department of education. they're going to take it down next. they're already talking about getting into and going after the department of labor, the veterans administration, the department of defense, the social security administration. why? >> do you believe you have a sense of what d.o.g.e. is doing? >> no. i think d.o.g.e. is an un-elected, unofficial, small group of young tech bros who are charging into different federal agencies, getting into their core computer systems, doing things with them that at least i don't know the full details of, copying and downloading reams of data. >> what does it matter that d.o.g.e. has access to u.s. government computer systems? >> what matter ss that the u.s. government has information about you, about me, our social security information, our medicare/medicaid, veteran benefit payments, things that matter to us.

obviously our tax filings. and if they have access to it and control it, they can change it. >> d.o.g.e. demanded and received total control of usaid's unclassified computer network, including all financial and personnel files. >> one usaid employee told us that a d.o.g.e. engineer used the computer to give himself access to classified spaces in the building. that usaid employee told us they didn't know if the d.o.g.e. engineer entered those spaces, but the employee said that is the problem with all of this, we don't know what's been compromised. >> what are they going to do with the information? are they -- you know, we don't know who these people are. we don't know what controls have been placed on the information. >> reporter: randy chester has worked for usaid 21 years under four presidents, two democrats two, republicans.

he represents the agency workforce for the american foreign service association. d.o.g.e. arrived at usaid january 27th, and that same day, usaid's top 58 managers were given 45 minutes to get out. the 58 senior managers, how would you describe them? >> they're the best professionals i've had the privilege to work with or work under. their integrity is without question. i think to a person they believe in the mission of usaid and they believe in the ideals of public service. >> usaid's signage was hastily covered in what employees saw as a gleeful putdown. but this past week, there was a partial reprieve. a judge temporarily restored

funds to usaid's partners working overseas. already at least 67 lawsuits have been filed against the new administration. in the oval office with musk, trump said, quote, i always abide by the courts. but he also said this. >> we want to weed out the corruption. and it seems hard to believe that a judge could say, we don't want you to do that. so, we have to look at the judges because that's very serious -- i think it's a very serious violation. >> we've seen flash points in this fight before. we've never seen this fight unfold across such a broad front and at such a basic level where the president is claiming so much of congress' constitutional powers. >> steven vladeck is a professor of constitutional law at georgetown university law center. >> fraud doesn't negate statutes that congress enacted. fraud just provides an excuse for revisiting them. you see these claims of fraud by

president trump, by elon musk, that really feel like they're fig leaves. >> if it's a fig leaf, what are they covering up? >> i think what we're really seeing is a consolidation of power. fraud provides a plausible sounding reason for running over what had been historical constraints, limiting the president's ability to centralize power. the end game here seems to be controlling every single apparatus with the federal government directly out of the white house. that's just never been how we've understood executive power. >> in your review, what would the founders think of where we are today? >> i mean, the founders were a they, not an it. even james madison changed his mind about 17 times between when he wrote the constitution and when he was president. so, i think it's hard to generalize. i do think the founders would be very worried about just how much the tension that i think they thought they were creating among the branches has broken down. the idea is that we want a zealous executive. we want a zealous congress. we want a zealous courts because

if they push each other, that's how we'll find the limits. that's how we'll ensure there's healthy checks and balances. but i think we can no longer dispute that congress, which is supposed to be providing rigorous oversight of the exec executive branch, which is supposed to be reining in abuses has neither stopped doing that. >> neither elon musk or d.o.g.e. responded to our request for interview. it was musk who called usaid employees worms. in a post, he gloated about feeding the agency into a world chipper. the world's richest man had cut off assistance to the world's poorest families. musk spent nearly $250 million to get trump and other republicans elected. he collects billions in taxpayer dollars for his spacex rockets. >> i think we're creating a system that violates the separation of powers and the

checks and balances that are intended in the constitution. >> republican andrew -- former head of usaid, spoke to us in washington in part because he is not hearing public appeals to reason from fellow republicans. >> i am not a moderate republican. i am a conservative republican and a strict constructionist. the reason they're not saying anything, i think they're afraid. musk has said he would spend $100 million in primaries if anybody opposes the president. i think there's a lot of fear in the city right now. >> how do you view this moment in history? >> i don't want to be too pessimistic, but it does appear we may be headed toward some sort of a constitutional crisis. i don't -- i hope that doesn't happen. i pray it doesn't happen. but it's certainly concerning to me what's going on in the city right now. >> is the constitutional order

breaking down? >> we'll see if they refuse to enforce a court order by the supreme court. if it gets to the supreme court and the supreme court rules against the administration on something, they refuse to enforce, then we will have a constitutional crisis. >> what happens then? >> well, i don't know. >> no one knows. >> no one knows. s.t.o.p. s.t.o.p. when it's time to start your business, it's time for shopify. design with easy to customize themes. sell everywhere people

. if you've ever dared to read the comments on a social media post, you might start to wonder if civilized discourse is just a myth. aggressive threats, lies, and harassment have unfortunately become the norm online, where anonymity has emboldened some users to push the lipmits of civility. in the united states most of what anyone says, sends, or streams online, even if it's hate-filled or toxic, is

protected by the first amendment as free speech. but germany is trying to bring some civility to the worldwide web by policing it in a way most americans could never imagine in an effort it says to protect discourse, german authorities have started prosecuting online trolls. and as we saw, it often begins with a pre-dawn wakeup call from the police. >> it's 6:01 on a tuesday morning, and we were with state police as they raided this apartment in northwest germany. inside, six armed officers searched a suspect's home, then seized his laptop and cell phone. prosecutors say those electronics may have been used to commit a crime. the crime, posting a racist cartoon online. at the exact same time, across

germany, more than 50 similar raids played out, part of what prosecutors say is a coordinated effort to curb online hate speech in germany. >> what's the typical reaction when the police show up at somebody's door and they say, hey, we believe you wrote this on the internet. >> in germany, they say that's -- so we are here with crimes of talking, posting on internet, and people are surprised that this is really illegal to post these kind of words. >> they don't think it was illegal -- >> no, they don't think it was illegal, and they say, no, that's my free speech. and we say, no, you have free speech, but it also has its limits. >> interpreting those limits is the job of mathaus fink, svenja meininghaus, and frank-michael laue -- hate speech laws online.

after its darkest chapter, germany strengthened its speech laws. as prosecutors explain it, the german constitution protects free speech, but not hate speech. and here's where it gets tricky. german law prohibits any speech that could incite hatred or is deemed insulting. it's illegal to display nazi symbolism, a swastika, deny the holocaust. that's clear. is it a crime to insult somebody in public? >> yes. >> yes. >> it is. >> and it's a crime to insult them online as well? >> yes. >> the fine could be even higher if you incite someone on the internet. >> why? >> because internet, it stays there. if you are talking face to face, you insult me, i insult you, finished. but internet, if i insult you or a politician -- >> it sticks around forever. >> the prosecutor also explained german law prohibits violent

threats, gossip, and fake quotes. if somebody posts something that's not true and somebody else reposts it or likes it, are they committing a crime? >> in the case of reposting, it is a crime as well because the reader can't distinguish whether you invented it or reposted it. it's the same for us. >> the punishment for breaking hate speech laws can include jail time. but in most cases, a judge levies a stiff fine and sometimes keeps their devices. > how do people react when you take their phones from them? >> they are shocked. it's a kind of punishment. if you lose your smartphone, it's even worse than the fine you have to pay. >> your whole life is typically on your phone now. >> the application of germany's decades-old speech laws to the online world was accelerated after an assassination fueled by the internet sent shockwaves through the country. in 2015, a video of a local

politician named walter -- went viral after he challenged angela merkel's progressive policy. >> they started hating him on the internet. they started insulting him. they started to incite people to kill him. and that went on for about four years. >> online? >> yes. until in 2019 -- so four years after he gave that speech, he was shot in his head. and so dead. that is one of the cases where we see that online hate can sometimes find a way into real life and then hurt people. >> after a man with links to neo-nazis was arrested, germany ramped up the creation of its online hate task forces. there are 16 units across the country, each with a team of investigators. frank-michael laue, a criminal

prosecutor, leads the unit. >> how many cases are you working on at any time? >> in our unit, we have about 3,500 cases per year. >> nine investigators work out of this office in a converted courthouse. laue says they get hundreds of tips a month from police, watchdog groups, and victims. >> you must see a lot of crazy stuff. >> yes. >> the worst of the internet is wrapped in red case folders, stuffed with pronouncive online slurs, threats, and hate. >> this is a criminal offense. >> what does that say? [ speaking in a global language ] >> so, they're suggesting that let the children play in the electrical wires. >> yes. >> okay. >> in this case, pay 3,750 euros. it's not a parking ticket. >> yeah, not a parking ticket. >> to build their cases, investigators scour social media ad use public and government data. laue says sometimes social media companies will provide

information to prosecutors, but not always. so, the task force employees special software investigators to help unmask anonymous users. >> so, this is suggesting you kill people seeking asylum here. >> laue says his unit has successfully prosecuted about 750 hate speech cases over the last four years. but it was a 2021 case involving a local politician named andy grote that captured the country's attention. he complained about a tweet that called him a pimmel, a german word for male anatomy. as prosecutors explained to us in germany, it's okay to debate politics online, but it can be a crime to call anyone a pimmel, even a politician. >> so, it sounds like you're saying it's okay to criticize a politician's policy but not to say, i think you're a jerk.

>> exactly. it's like you're a son of a -- excuse me. these words have nothing to do with political discussions or a contribution to a discussion. >> civility is more than a commandment. for germans, rules are gospel. even on the quiet street, the crosswalk signal is adhered to with the devotion of a monk. but some here worry by policing the internet, germany is backsliding. >> this feels like the surveillance that germany conducted eight years ago. how do you respond to that? >> there is no surveillance. >> josephine ballon is a ceo of hate aid, an organization that supports victims of violence. >> in the united states people look at this and say it restricts free speech, it's a threat to democracy. >> free speech needs boundaries.

in the case of germany, these boundaries are part of our constitution. without boundaries, a very small group of people can rely on endless freedom to say anything that they want while everyone else is scared and intimidated. >> in your fears that if people are freely attacked online that they'll withdraw from the discussion. >> this is not online a fear. it's already taking place. already half of the internet users in germany are afraid to express their political opinion and they rarely participate in public debates online anymore. >> renate kunast is a prominent german politician. in 2015, this meme of the green party member appeared on facebook, falsely implying that she said every german should learn turkish. >> you never said that? >> i never said that. and this harms my reputation because people think she's a bit crazy because how can she say

that? >> kunast, a 40-year politician said she began receiving threats and hate-filled comments from anonymous users online. >> you spent your life in politics. what was different about what took place online? >> the first point was it was much more personal. you are looking so ugly. you are an old woman. we know where you are live. or even, you should be raped by a group of men so that you see what all this is doing. >> so, this was not elevated conversation. this was very personal, very hateful. >> it was very personal. >> kunast asked meta to delete all the false quotes attributed to per worldwide. >> and they were astonished. they said, what, we cannot do it? just by software, the software is not able to deal with all this, and we will have to get a lot of new employees. and i said, yes. it's my personal right. it's my reputation. >> kunast sued facebook and won.

last year, in a landmark case, a german court ruled meta had to remove all the fake quotes attributed to her. meta is appealing. >> this court said, in case of public servants, which have public officers and jobs, it's public interest that their personal rights are protected because otherwise no one would go for these jobs. you know, that would -- democracy. >> after all this, are you seeing less hateful comments in your social media feeds? >> yes, there are less hateful comments. and there was one tweet which says, don't say that to her. she will take you to court. >> and you'd sue them. >> and i'd sue them. >> last year the european union implemented a new law that requires social media companies to stop the spread of harmful content online in europe or face

millions of dollars in fines. but josephine ballon of hate aid says some social media companies are still not complying with the new law. >> i would love social media companies to be a safer place than they are right now. but what we see is that their -- is not comprehensive. sometimes it seems to be working well in some areas. but in many areas, it's just not. >> the european commission is currently investigating whether elon musk's social media company, x, has breached the eu digital content law. musk, who has been criticized for using x to promote germany's far right party ahead of next week's elections, accused the eu of censorship and hating democracy. but in lower saxony, prosecutors argue they are protecting democracy and discourse by introducing a touch of german order to the unruly worldwide

web. >> doing all this work, launching all these investigations, you're finding people, sometimes putting them in jail. does it make a difference if it's a worldwide web and there's a lot of hate out there? >> i would say, yes, because what's the option? to say, we don't do anything? no. we are prosecutors. if we see a crime, we want to investigate it. it's a lot of work and there are also borders. it's not an area without law.
