Important reporting from @ProPublica drawing in part on documents we obtained.

A top Treasury Dept. official is overseeing the coronavirus bailout while his family’s business makes money off of the bailout’s bond buying program.

Deputy Treasury Sec. Justin Muzinich could get his shares in the family business back when he leaves the Treasury — presenting a significant conflict of interest.
In his 1st year in the Trump admin, Muzinich still owned his stake in the family firm while he met with business executives to discuss tax provisions. We obtained some of Muzinich’s calendars through our investigation into Trump admin officials.

Our legal and investigations teams compiled a list of 7 strategies to help journalists, activists, and others use public records requests to investigate how the government is responding to nationwide protests and to hold our leaders accountable.

americanoversight.org/tips-for-filin…
Many jurisdictions have open records laws that allow people to request records — including emails, memos, data files, complaint records, incident reports, and more — to learn what our government officials are saying and doing.
As a note, this is not an exhaustive list, and we’re not experts in the specifics of public records laws in every jurisdiction, so the items below may not work in every situation, but we've tried to identify principles that should help you create more effective records requests.
