FFRF settles suit over HUD open records denial
FFRF teamed up with Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a governmental watchdog, after HUD Secretary Ben Carson dodged records requests related to the White House bible study.
In addition to seeking records that were related to the White House bible study, FFRF had asked for records related to Carson’s attendance at an event at the Museum of the Bible.
“Government needs to work in sunlight,” comments FFRF Co-President Dan Barker. “Our lawsuit has ensured that should be happening in the future at HUD.”
The case was before U.S. District Judge Carl J. Nichols. Anne Weismann, chief FOIA counsel for CREW, and Patrick Elliott, senior counsel for FFRF, represented the plaintiffs.
