It's New Year's Eve with only days to go until the Trump administration faces Congressional oversight for the first time. We're counting down our top 10 investigations of the past year - many of which will continue in 2019.
10. Nearly a year ago, President Trump disbanded his Voter Fraud commission. Just weeks earlier, a federal judge had ordered the commission to stop excluding Maine Sec. of State Matt Dunlap, who we were representing. americanoversight.org/countdown-to-o… 
9. Expensive office upgrades. From Scott Pruitt's phone booth to Ben Carson's dining set to Ryan Zinke's mounted elk heads, we've been working to uncover the cost of cabinet officials' spending on their personal offices. americanoversight.org/countdown-to-o…
8. Unqualified political appointees. From acting Attorney General Whitaker's "strong computer skills" to the parade of Trump campaign loyalists filling senior posts across the government, we uncovered hundreds of resumes the people Trump has hired. americanoversight.org/countdown-to-o…
7. But Her Emails. Ivanka Trump used personal email for government business on hundreds of occasions. Our FOIAs and lawsuit sparked an investigation by the White House counsel's office - but we still don't have all the answers. americanoversight.org/countdown-to-o…
6. Political speech by federal employees. It's been a year of mixed messages. A federal office banned public employees from discussing impeachment or "resistance" but also opened a case file on Acting AG Whitaker's receipt of campaign contributions. americanoversight.org/countdown-to-o…
5. Improper influence at federal agencies. From Ben Carson's son planning a HUD tour to the 'Mar-a-Lago Crowd' directing policy at the VA, we're investigating how outside influences are shaping Trump administration policy. americanoversight.org/countdown-to-o…
