Joint Status Report filed by American Oversight and the Department of Energy in American Oversight’s lawsuit seeking the release of Secretary Rick Perry’s communications with high-level Ukraine officials; with outside groups associated with U.S. energy interests in Ukraine; and with particular associates of President Trump’s personal lawyer Rudolph Giuliani. American Oversight is also requesting records regarding the U.S. delegation, led by Perry, to Ukrainian President Zelensky’s inauguration, including the records of former Chief of Staff Brian McCormack.

The Department of Energy agreed to make the first production of records on Jan. 28, 2020, prioritizing Perry’s and McCormack’s communications as well as records related to the delegation. Subsequent productions are scheduled for Feb. 4 and March 16.
