Tomorrow, House Democrats will begin oversight. We've already been filing FOIA requests and will sue to get the documents if the administration tries to stonewall Congress. See what we've filed so far: americanoversight.org/investigation/…
We filed a FOIA to find out if USDA senior official Rebeckah Adcock violated the terms of her ethics agreement by meeting with those associated with her former employer: americanoversight.org/documents?fwp_…
The EPA suppressed a report from the CDC on the health effects of perfluorinated compounds. We want to know if the chemical industry influenced this decision: americanoversight.org/documents?fwp_…

.@SecretaryZinke is leaving the administration one day before the the new Congress to avoid facing scrutiny. But just because he's leaving doesn't mean we're done investigating: americanoversight.org/our-ryan-zinke…
.@Interior recently classified uranium as a “critical mineral." We submitted a FOIA to find out if the the uranium mining industry influenced this decision — and what impact it could have on national monuments: americanoversight.org/documents?fwp_…
From putting a high school friend with no experience in charge of grants to giving a $300 million contract to restore power in Puerto Rico to a tiny company from his hometown, it's clear Zinke favored personal connection over experience: americanoversight.org/our-ryan-zinke…

Now that the House is investigating, Ben Carson could face real accountability for his son's participation in the Baltimore listening tour, retaliation against an employee who objected to his spending, and Armstrong Williams' role at the agency: motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
Ben Carson allegedly demoted an employee who objected when he tried to spend $31,000 on a dining set. Emails we obtained show she was frequently asked about exceeding the $5,000 limit on renovations: americanoversight.org/investigation/…
See our investigation into Ben Carson's leadership at HUD and his family's involvement at the agency: americanoversight.org/investigation/…

Via the first major interview with @CamAnalytica whistleblower @chrisinsilico which explained Facebook had known about the leak for at least 18months and detailed Robert Mercer / Steve Bannon's central roles ‘I made Bannon’s psychological warfare tool’: theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
