The corruption in the Trump administration didn't start with Ukraine. We have a lot more investigations into misconduct in the Trump administration and at the state level.

Here’s what else we do: americanoversight.org/investigations
Since opening our doors in 2017, we’ve obtained thousands of pages of documents through #FOIA. We post everything we get.

You can see it all in our documents library: americanoversight.org/documents
The corruption doesn't stop with the president and his administration. We've been investigating voter suppression efforts in Florida, Georgia, and Texas: americanoversight.org/state-accounta…
From the family-separation policy to poor conditions in detention centers, the Trump administration's anti-immigrant efforts have had devastating consequences. The public has a right to know how these policies came to be. See our investigation: americanoversight.org/investigation/…
The Trump administration has also forced asylum-seekers to remain in dangerous conditions in Mexico — where they often face violence or death — under the Migrant Protection Protocols. We've been investigating the creation and implementation of the policy: americanoversight.org/document/foia-…
We obtained emails showing that DHS wanted to ask asylum-seekers whether they had fear of being returned to Mexico — but the question was cut: buzzfeednews.com/article/hameda…
The person working behind the scenes on all these hardline immigration policies? Trump White House Adviser Stephen Miller. See our investigation into his influence throughout the administration: americanoversight.org/investigation/…
A cabinet official's calendars show what their priorities are. We sued to uncover calendars and found:
- Secretary Chao prioritized meetings with officials from her home state
- Commerce Sec. Ross met with the CEO of Boeing while his wife had a stake in the company
- Acting DHS Sec. Chad Wolf's involvement in the family-separation policy
- Trump's oil and gas regulator Scott Angelle prioritized meeting with energy industry groups
- Back in 2017, Education Secretary DeVos took frequent long weekends during her first six months in office
Trump profits off the presidency. And his cabinet members have followed his example by taking advantage of luxury office renovations and travel at taxpayer-expense. We've been investigating: americanoversight.org/investigation/… americanoversight.org/investigation/…
We also work with other organizations to support accountability. We sued the government on behalf of the largest federal employee union over guidance banning federal employees from discussing impeachment or resistance: americanoversight.org/afge-union-sue…
Did you know that Ivanka Trump used personal email for government business hundreds of times in 2017? Our FOIAs and litigation sparked a White House investigation uncovering her extensive personal email use: washingtonpost.com/politics/ivank…
We've heard a lot about government officials' improper email use since 2016. That hasn’t stopped several Trump officials from disregarding email security rules. See our investigation: americanoversight.org/investigation/…
We've been filing Freedom of Information Act requests and lawsuits that mirror the document requests sent by Congress. When the Trump administration tries to duck accountability, we're able to go to court to get the records: americanoversight.org/american-overs…
Parallel Investigations in action: In a congressional hearing, Rep. Deb Haaland cited documents we uncovered and challenged a DOI official on the department's failure to release records to Congress.
