Fact check: Did dozens of generals file suit

1. Summary of the results

The original question about "dozens of generals" filing suit needs clarification. While there wasn't a lawsuit filed by dozens of generals specifically, there were two significant legal actions:

• 19 retired military officials, including admirals, generals, and former service secretaries, filed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court regarding Trump's immunity claims ^[1]
• Multiple inspectors general (IGs) from eight federal agencies, including the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs, filed a separate lawsuit challenging their firings ^[2]

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Several important contextual elements were missing from the original question:

• The amicus brief was filed specifically for Trump's Supreme Court case scheduled for April 25th, addressing presidential immunity claims ^[1]
• Notable figures involved include former Navy Secretary Ray Mabus and General Michael Hayden ^[1]
• The military officials argue that granting such immunity would "severely undermine the commander-in-chief's legal and moral authority" ^[1]
• Some retired generals like Michael Flynn and Thomas McInerney have been involved in election-related claims, but not through lawsuits ^[3]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question contains several potentially misleading elements:

• The use of "dozens" is an overstatement - the actual number is 19 military officials ^[1]
• The term "generals" is too narrow - the group includes admirals and former service secretaries as well ^[1]
• The word "suit" is imprecise - what was filed was an amicus brief, not a lawsuit ^[1]
• There might be confusion between this action and the separate lawsuit filed by inspectors general ^[2]

It's worth noting that various parties have different stakes in how this information is presented:

• Those supporting presidential immunity claims benefit from minimizing the significance of military opposition
• Those opposing immunity benefits from emphasizing the military credentials of those filing the brief
• Media outlets might benefit from using more dramatic language like "dozens" to increase engagement
