Report Accuses Trump Administration of Blocking Government Transparency

(AURN News) — Democracy Forward is out with a new report accusing the Trump-Vance administration of blocking transparency and hiding misconduct across the federal government.

According to the group, since January 2025, it has filed more than 2,000 public records requests, sued the federal government 28 times, and obtained more than 21,000 pages of records.

The report alleges a pattern of stonewalling tied to investigations involving the Justice Department and law enforcement, immigration raids, voter data, funding freezes, civil rights rollbacks and the dismantling of parts of the federal workforce.

The group says those investigations have also raised possible questions involving the Hatch Act, the Federal Records Act and the Anti-Deficiency Act.

The group is framing this as a fight over whether the public can see what the government is doing. The report comes just as Sunshine Week begins March 15, an annual push for open government and access to public records.
