We're investigating the Trump administration's oversight of for-profit colleges, including Education Department decisions related to accreditation and student loans: americanoversight.org/investigating-…
We filed a lawsuit on behalf of @studentlegalnet for records related to the Dream Center, which owned schools that in 2018 accepted tuition payments without telling students that their accreditation status had changed: americanoversight.org/investigating-…
Principal Deputy Undersecretary Diane Auer Jones is testifying this afternoon before the House Oversight Committee in a hearing about for-profit college oversight and student debt. oversight.house.gov/legislation/he…
Jones used to be a lobbyist and consultant to for-profit colleges. Her position at the Education Department allows her to oversee the accreditors of organizations she previously worked for. We filed a FOIA request for her external communications: americanoversight.org/document/foia-…
We're also investigating the Department’s decision to cut back on debt relief for defrauded student borrowers and efforts to protect student loan servicers over students: americanoversight.org/investigating-…

News Roundup: Kellyanne Conway's Hatch Act violations, Secretary Chao's photoshoot with her family's company, and President Trump's tax returns americanoversight.org/news-roundup-t…
This week, the Office of Special Counsel recommended that Kellyanne Conway be removed from federal service for violating the Hatch Act — @realdonaldtrump said he had no intention of firing her: cbsnews.com/news/kellyanne…
In 2018, the OSC issued Hatch Act guidance indicating that discussing "resistance" or expressing support for impeachment could be violations — but its lack of clarity and its focus only on speech opposed to the administration was troubling: americanoversight.org/new-guidance-f…

Administration officials under legal scrutiny, as Scott Pruitt was, have used legal defense funds to help pay expenses. But there is no federal regulation specifically governing their use. We're calling on the Office of Government Ethics to change that: americanoversight.org/legal-defense-…
Former EPA Administrator Pruitt created a fund to pay for his legal defense while he battled more than a dozen ethics investigations, receiving $50,000 from a Republican donor whose companies were subject to EPA inspection: americanoversight.org/legal-defense-…
So that officials don't accept gifts in violation of ethics laws, donors to legal defense funds should be required to publicly disclose their identities and any interests that may be affected by the benefiting official's agency.

Prior productions from CBP showed that a week after the tweet and two days after our FOIA request, a CBP media officer had to remind employees not to use such dehumanizing language: buzzfeednews.com/article/adolfo…
The new set of emails reveal that CBP public affairs officials had a meeting in which they discussed a "request from NGO upset about twitter account referring to drug bust as ‘Catch of the Day.’” documentcloud.org/documents/5450…

Trump’s circle is still in legal peril: “the biggest legal minefield here is the number of different offices looking at this,” said Berit Berger, a former federal prosecutor who’s now at Columbia Law School. “You can’t say they’re all witch hunts.” chicagotribune.com/news/nationwor…
As we wait for Barr to reveal the Mueller Report, let’s review.

This article provides a good overview of the many ongoing investigations into TeamTrump all of which are being handled by the DOJ or have been framed out to other jurisdictions.
Remember Mueller’s focus is narrow.
📌Federal prosecutors in New York are investigating the Trump Organization and his 2016 campaign for possible campaign finance violations.

📌They’ve also issued subpoenas to Trump’s inaugural committee.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
