New: We uncovered emails showing Trump family aide (and now HUD regional administrator) Lynne Patton name-dropped Eric Trump to try to get a colleague fired. washingtonpost.com/business/2018/…
"Eric Trump agrees... and told me to call Jared, if necessary."
Read the new emails our FOIA lawsuit uncovered: americanoversight.org/document/hud-e…
In early 2018, news broke that HUD whistleblower had faced retaliation after objecting to political interference in FOIA requests. The FOIAs in question dealt with emails in which Lynne Patton tried to get another HUD appointee fired. theguardian.com/us-news/2018/f…

Oversight doesn't stop even when parts of the government are closed. See what we've been working on this week: americanoversight.org/news-roundup-t…
The administration has been making inaccurate and misleading statements about terrorists at the southern border. We submitted FOIAs to find out more: americanoversight.org/documents?fwp_…
In 2009, DHS dismantled its Extremism and Radicalization Branch, which scrutinized right-wing extremism. In the past decade, right-wing domestic terrorism has increased, and we want to know more: americanoversight.org/document/respo…

We obtained DHS emails discussing the @ALT_uscis Twitter account, which criticized the administration's immigration policy. CBP attempted to force Twitter to reveal the account owner's identity: americanoversight.org/document/respo…
The documents show confusion over why the summons was issued. One email shows that USCIS's acting deputy director didn't know CBP was pursuing the identity of the account owner: americanoversight.org/document/respo…
DHS seemed unaware of the decision to try to unmask the account. One email says, "Not sure why CBP is involved." documentcloud.org/documents/4107…

After working at Boeing for three decades, Acting Defense Secretary Shanahan has reportedly been promoting his former employer at the Pentagon. We're investigating: americanoversight.org/investigating-…
We filed 7 FOIAs to DOD to find out if Shanahan has been communicating with his former employer to determine whether Boeing has had undue influence at the department: americanoversight.org/documents?fwp_…
During his confirmation, Shanahan divested from his Boeing assets and recused himself from Boeing-related matters, but there's still the possibility of ethical misconduct — especially in light of Boeing’s $3.9 billion Air Force One contract: americanoversight.org/investigating-…

"Trump has used Harley-Davidson as an example of a US business that is being harmed by trade barriers. Yet Harley has warned consistently against tariffs, saying they would negatively impact sales"

Harley, hit by tariffs, shifts some production overseas apnews.com/6c8942f7363743…
Important issue highlighted by @riotwomennn: are tariff exemptions determined by bribes?

Corker: "22,000 companies have asked for exemptions.There is no basis to deal with them. Are they going to grant these exclusions based on political contributions?"
Trump’s trade war with the European Union is going to cost Harley-Davidson as much as $100 million a year and force the manufacturer to shift production out of the U.S. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
