I’m holding out hope that @potus @vp @whcos Steven Cheung Karoline Leavitt Andrew Bates Archived NeeraTanden46 Archived tell the American people about this today. It’s 3+ years late, but far better for an administration to publicly recommit to government transparency & accountability than never do so.
