FGA v. Department of Justice

Biden's strings

What is President Biden hiding?

We’ve sued the Biden administration.

On April 20, 2022, FGA sued the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in federal court after several federal agencies failed to respond to our Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests seeking documents and communications related to EO 14019.

On July 12, 2022, the Federal District Court sided with FGA, and ordered DOJ to provide all documents required to be disclosed under FOIA law. In September 2022, DOJ finally disclosed 135 pages of documents, a far cry from the more than 5,500 potentially responsive records which DOJ had initially claimed it had. As expected, most of the documents were heavily redacted.

To date, DOJ has steadfastly refused to turn over its 15-page strategic plan to carry out EO 14019, claiming the plan is exempted from disclosure under FOIA and that releasing it would only “confuse the public.” Both claims are false.

This initial win in the courtroom was a victory for transparency, for government accountability, and for the American people… and we’re just getting started.
