News release: “Today, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder expressing concern over the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) failure to abide by President Obama’s commitment to government transparency and accountability. Despite policy directives from President Barack Obama and Attorney General Holder mandating a presumption of openness in administering the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), DOJ continues to operate – as it did during the Bush administration — under a presumption of secrecy, deliberately withholding information about what DOJ is up to and why.”
