BREAKING: 1999 Special Master Report on leaks by Starr Commission released by National Archives, following motion by American Oversight. archives.gov/foia/special-m…
The 1999 Special Master's report does not specifically fault or exonerate Judge Kavanaugh because it largely addresses a time period when he wasn't working for the Starr commission. americanoversight.org/1999-special-m…
The fact that an outside watchdog group had to go to court to uncover this report speaks volumes about the rush to confirm Judge Kavanaugh without fully vetting his record. Senate hearings begin in just weeks, and Kavanaugh has questions to answer. americanoversight.org/1999-special-m…

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/…

This would appear to be an FBI document showing the co-founder of Amnesty International ratting Black Panther leader Fred Hampton out to the FBI. 🤔 #FOIA

Oh he's a winner....

"He also helped free Hungarian Cardinal József Mindszenty, American expatriate poet Ezra Pound, former Congo President Moise Tshombe and represented the Dalai Lama and Tibet."
My lord. This Kutner a bad guy.

Moïse Tshombe, whom Kutner helped "free", was the leader of the Katanga secessionist state set up by the Belgians and the UK in order to break up the Congo during the premiership of Patrice Lumumba.

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.

NEW: DOJ says it's reviewing the Carter Page FISA application to see what parts can be made public. Before now, the gov't has "never, in any litigation civil or criminal, processed FISA applications for release to the public."
In a new court filing, the FBI says its Carter Page FISA application and order "continue to be very sensitive materials that are part of the on-going Russian interference investigation" by Mueller.
FBI: It is "wholly unprecedented for the Government to disclose FISA applications at all, whether under the FOIA or otherwise." It's being forced to do so because of the competing memos released by Reps. Nunes and Schiff.
