A federal watchdog sued the Department of the Interior (DOI) last week for non-compliance with a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that targeted high-ranking officials in the U.S. agency.
The lawsuit was filed on Nov. 8 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia after more than a full year since Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT) received a reply from the DOI regarding Raina Thiele, Martha Williams, and Elizabeth Klein, who is Interior Secretary Deb Haaland’s senior counselor.
As previously reported in Legal Newsline, it is alleged that Klein failed to fully reveal to ethics officials the scope of her deputy director job at the State Energy & Environmental Impact Center (SEEIC), which is funded by billionaire and climate litigation advocate Michael Bloomberg.
