FOIA request to the National Archives and Records Administration seeking records reflecting communications with the White House.

U.S. law requires the preservation of White House and federal agency records. A new American Oversight initiative will work to ensure the Trump administration complies.

Letter from American Oversight to National Archives and Records Administration, Central Intelligence Agency, and State Department urging them to take prompt action to recover any federal records that may have been unlawfully removed from CIA or State Department custody as a result of Mike Pompeo’s use of personal email to conduct government business.

Files from the CIA, Justice Department, and National Archives containing emails from Justice Brett Kavanaugh's time working in the White House under President George W. Bush. These records were released by the agencies in late 2018 and early 2019 in response to Freedom of Information Act litigation brought by six members of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Answer filed by the government in response to the Federal Records Act lawsuit brought by American Oversight and the Democracy Forward Foundation against the State Department, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, the National Archives, and Archivist David Ferriero under the Federal Records Act to compel the defendants to preserve and recover any records of meetings between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

A federal judge rejected the government’s attempt to dismiss a lawsuit alleging that the administration had committed a serious violation of federal records laws after a 2017 meeting between Trump and Putin.

Records from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in response to American Oversight's request for a folder title list of files related to Neomi Rao's service as associate counsel and special assistant to George W. Bush.

Lawsuit filed by American Oversight and Democracy Forward against the National Archives and Records Administration, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Archivist David Ferriero and VA Secretary Robert Wilkie for failing to recover and preserve emails former VA Secretary David Shulkin sent from a personal account used to conduct government business with outside advisers. The Federal Records Act requires the preservation of all agency records.

The president seized the notes illegally — federal law requires the secretary of state to preserve agency records and refer illegal conduct to the Justice Department.
