News Roundup: Supreme Court decisions on the census and the Freedom of Information Act, and a new lawsuit related to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner's D.C. landlord americanoversight.org/news-roundup-s…
This week the Supreme Court ruled that the government has broad power to withhold “confidential” business information under FOIA's Exemption 4, which covers trade secrets and commercial or financial information: americanoversight.org/news-roundup-s…
The EPA also published new rules that would explicitly give political appointees power to oversee final responses to FOIA requests: eenews.net/eenewspm/2019/…
We called for an inspector general investigation into whether the Department of the Interior has been interfering with the processing of FOIA requests: documentcloud.org/documents/6155…

Defense Secretary nominee Mark Esper has his confirmation hearing today. Esper, who worked for defense contractor Raytheon for seven years before joining the administration in 2017, brings his own industry baggage to the role of Pentagon chief: americanoversight.org/trump-nominate…
We filed a number of FOIA requests for Esper’s calendars and ethics determinations, as well as for any communications agencies had with him in 2017, when he was lobbying for Raytheon: americanoversight.org/document/foia-…

@DemocracyJourno Some call Ronn Torossian?
🔹What do the Mueller probe, Eric Trump Foundation, Felix Sater, Roger Stone, Rudy Giuliani, Sinclair Broadcasting, TV Evangelists, Israel, Turkey, and Trump’s personal lawyer Jay Sekulow, Alan Dershowitz, SmartJet and JetSmarter all have in common?
1/
@DemocracyJourno 🔹Torossian’s specialty is “crises communications” PR

🔹Torossian is friendly with Cohen

🔹Torossian and Cohen both haunt the same circuit of upscale midtown restaurants—the Four Seasons, Nobu Fifty Seven and the Loews Regency (where the FBI raided Cohen’s hotel room)

2/
@DemocracyJourno 🔸Torossian met Cohen through Trump pal and pharmaceutical billionaire, Stewart Rahr
🔹Rahr is a Torossian client
🔸Rahr, a Queens native like Trump who's worth an estimated $2.2 billion, rents a sprawling 7,500-square-foot office space on 24th floor of Trump Tower Fifth Ave

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner attend John McCain's funeral as President tweets about NAFTA ti.me/2wAi0YO?utm_so…
These folks have no shame. The only place I want to see @IvankaTrump and @jaredkushner are before a congressional hearing. It’s always about them!! #misfits
Criminals attending a funeral. Their time would be better spent prepping for criminal indictments coming down the pipe from Robert Mueller’s investigation. I’m sure @IvankaTrump is fresh faced with tons of filler injections before the funeral.
