An appeals court ruled that a congressional minority has the standing to enforce requests for government information.
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 in favor of a group of House Democrats who serve on the House Oversight and Reform Committee who wanted to obtain records from the General Services Administration (GSA). They had sought to get information about the federal government’s lease of the Old Post Office building in the city to the Trump Organization that was used for the Trump International Hotel.
