[QUOTE="oldngray, post: 1387737, member: 45230"] A watchdog group on Monday sued the [URL='http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/us-government/']U.S. government[/URL], accusing the Obama [URL='http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/white-house/']White House[/URL] of interfering in and thwarting the release of public documents under the Freedom of Information Act. The lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by the group Cause of Action (CoA) names 12 federal agencies that delayed the release of documents so officials could consult with [URL='http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/white-house/']White House[/URL] under a new process established in spring 2009. The process, which gave [URL='http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/white-house/']White House[/URL] officials review authority over documents that federal agencies wanted to release that mentioned the [URL='http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/white-house/']White House[/URL] or presidential aides, was based on a previously secret April 15, 2009 memo by then-[URL='http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/white-house/']White House[/URL] Counsel Gregory Craig that instructed all federal agencies to consult with Mr. Obama’s lawyers on the release of documents containing “[URL='http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/white-house/']White House[/URL] equities.” The lawsuit challenges that process, and says the term “[URL='http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/white-house/']White House[/URL] equities” was never mentioned in the FOIA law and has been used to delay the legitimate release of public information.
