Suit alleges Trump’s office of management and budget deactivated tracker in violation of federal law
A watchdog group on Monday sued the Trump administration over its decision to remove a public tracker of how the government spends funds appropriated by Congress.
The director of the office of management and budget (OMB), Russell Vought, has sought to justify taking down the tracker, telling Congress in March that the tool “requires the disclosure of sensitive, predecisional and deliberative information”.
