Just Posted: We obtained records of office renovation expenses from the Office of Management and Budget, which includes money spent on framing magazines and other prints: documentcloud.org/documents/4839…
One record showed that OMB Director Mick Mulvaney spent $294 framing a 1865 South Carolina map, his home state: documentcloud.org/documents/4839…
OMB also spent $566 dollars on Calvin Coolidge artwork: documentcloud.org/documents/4839…
Most notably, Mulvaney spent $400 framing copy of Politico Magazine and a Rush Limbaugh newsletter "Incoming Media Hit Squad" documentcloud.org/documents/4839…
An additional $350 was also spent on vintage prints of Washington, DC and the House of Representatives: documentcloud.org/documents/4839…
Mulvaney also spent $138 to have a November 26, 2017 clipping of the New York Times framed with a mat and protective glass. We're guessing he hasn't shown this one to @realDonaldTrump: documentcloud.org/documents/4839…

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/…

USA v Michael Cohen Sentencing Memorandum

Ruling tonight: DC judge won't force Justice Dept. to disclose any records showing whether Trump was or is a target of an investigation /// Opinion: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4840… #FOIA
US Justice Department refused to confirm/ deny existence of any such records. Judge Amy Berman Jackson says Trump's press statements and tweets aren't enough to overcome DOJ's "glomar" response. assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4840…
Regarding one @realDonaldTrump tweet, the judge writes:

"The court is reluctant to place so much emphasis on the President’s choice of a single article in a rambling set of comments issued at 4:00 in the morning."
