While we were in court this morning, pressing the State Department to release additional documents related to the Trump administration's Ukraine dealings, the House Intelligence Committee was preparing to publish its impeachment inquiry report.

The impeachment report directly cites the documents uncovered by American Oversight through our FOIA litigation as evidence of the White House's obstruction:

“On November 22, the [State] Department produced 99 pages of emails, letters, notes, timelines, and news articles to a non-partisan, nonprofit ethics watchdog organization pursuant to a court order in a lawsuit filed under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). This handful of documents was limited to a narrow window of time and specific people, but it clearly indicates that the Department is withholding documents that are responsive to the Committee’s requests.”

These documents were just the beginning. We have filed five additional lawsuits — and more than 60 FOIA requests — to uncover the paper trail of the Trump administration's efforts to pressure Ukraine to investigate a political rival, and we're going to continue fighting to make these records public. 

There is a lot of work left to do, and today, for #GivingTuesday, we are asking for your help. With so many deserving causes calling for support, we hope that you will consider giving to American Oversight. A contribution to American Oversight will directly help us:

• Send our attorneys back to court this week to press for more Ukraine-related disclosures
• Expand our team to support new state-level investigations combating voter suppression
• Uncover new documents and share breaking stories with more people across the country
