Complaint: American Oversight v. DOE — Perry and Brouillette’s Ukraine Records and Communications

The evidence quickly mounted of former President Trump's troubling attempts to coerce a foreign government into helping attack his political rivals. American Oversight is investigating the extent of those efforts as well as the involvement of Trump personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and administration officials like Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. The paper trail will only get longer.

Former Energy Secretary Rick Perry came into the administration with enough industry connections and energy investments to provide him with a very long list of recusal obligations. We’ve been investigating just how well he upheld those obligations — and whether outside influences played a role in department policy.
