Biden admin hit with lawsuits for hiding communications involving Cabinet secretary’s daughter
Fox News
A watchdog group accused the Biden administration of stonewalling information requests for communications between Interior Secretary Deb Haaland's daughter and federal officials.
The information requests, filed under the Freedom of Information Act which requires the federal government to publicly share certain documents, communications and information with the public, came after a Fox News Digital report revealed Somah Haaland had lobbied federal lawmakers on hot-button oil and gas leasing issues over which her mother has oversight. Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"Her daughter’s activism and lobbying efforts certainly have the potential to create the perception in the minds of the public that Secretary Haaland could be conflicted on issues under her authority," PPT Director Michael Chamberlain told Fox News Digital. "Further complicating matters is the participation of an organization that claims Somah Haaland among its leadership in the protest that turned into a riot at the Interior headquarters."
