CREW Executive Director and Chief Counsel Donald Sherman issued the following statement: “We’re grateful for Judge Cooper’s decision. Now more than ever, Americans deserve transparency in their government. Despite efforts and claims to the contrary, the government cannot hide the actions of the US DOGE Service. We look forward to the expedited processing of our requests and making all the DOGE documents public.”
