NEW: We just filed two more #coronavirus FOIA lawsuits against the Trump administration for failing to release key records — including documents detailing White House efforts to control public release of information about the pandemic. americanoversight.org/an-update-on-a…
Yesterday @WSJ reported that Trump threatened to fire a top CDC doctor after she warned coronavirus could spread and become a pandemic.

We're suing to release details of White House efforts to control health officials' public statements about #Covid-19. americanoversight.org/document/compl…
@WSJ The U.S. has lagged far behind other countries in #coronavirus testing and the public has a right to know why. Today we sued HHS and FDA to release top officials' emails containing a set of key terms related to coronavirus testing. americanoversight.org/document/compl…
@WSJ The Trump White House has consistently treated the coronavirus pandemic as a public relations problem rather than a public health crisis, and the president has repeatedly misled the American people about the outbreak. We're demanding answers. americanoversight.org/an-update-on-a…

Last September, we sued the State Department for records related to the emergency declaration, including communications of a Pompeo aide who may have played a lead role in crafting the administration’s strategy.

Charles Faulkner is a former Raytheon lobbyist with a history of advocating for arms sales during his tenure at the State Department. We submitted multiple FOIA requests to State seeking records related to the emergency declaration and Faulkner’s role.

President Donald Trump’s authoritarian war on oversight continues. americanoversight.org/another-friday…
In another late-night, weekend firing, Trump gave Congress notice that he was ousting State IG Steve Linick, the independent watchdog of the department headed by one of Trump’s most loyal cabinet members, Secretary Mike Pompeo. politico.com/news/2020/05/1…
Linick was reportedly looking into allegations that Pompeo' had a political appointee perform personal errands for him and his wife.

Trump’s efforts to shirk oversight are deeply alarming, and American Oversight will continue its work of holding the administration accountable.

NEW LAWSUIT: We’re suing the CDC over its illegal practice of rejecting valid #FOIA requests — including requests related to the coronavirus pandemic.

americanoversight.org/the-cdc-has-be…
We’re asking the court to order the CDC to comply with the law and to stop groundlessly rejecting requests it deems “overly broad.” Our suit cites CDC’s inadequate response to several recent #FOIA’s related to coronavirus. Here are a few examples.
On March 17, we FOIA’d emails from six specific CDC officials containing any of 43 key terms related to the coronavirus. These included “coronavirus,” “COVID 19,” “Wuhan,” “hoax,” “vaccine,” and “quarantine.”
