Summary

Given that the Trump Administration has been involved in resisting, if not outright defying, federal court orders early and often, it may come as a surprise that they have complied with a court order requiring them to obey a federal law designed to promote transparency in how Trump and company are spending ("apportioning") our taxpayer dollars.

Glenn discusses the legal challenges brought by two pro-democracy nonprofit organizations - Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) and Protect Democracy, - to force the Trump administration with an important transparency law.
