White House Wants Lawsuit Dropped

The White House is asking a district court to dismiss a lawsuit by a homeless advocacy organization over the disclosure of information about unused federal buildings. The National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty is suing the Office of Management and Budget to get the agency to release more documentation about surplus federal properties, including some that may not have been reported. The Washington Post reports OMB submitted a motion to the district court in Washington rejecting the lawsuit's claims, saying no documents have been improperly withheld and Acting OMB Director Jeff Zients is the improper defendant.
