Lambda Legal v. the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)

Status: Open

Court:

U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia

On September 13, 2018, Lambda Legal and American Oversight, a non-partisan, nonprofit ethics watchdog committed to transparency and accountability in the executive branch, filed a lawsuit seeking to compel the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to produce documents related to Supreme Court Justice Nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s work in the George W. Bush administration, particularly his involvement in policies that discriminated against LGBTQ children, families and relationships. The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

Lambda Legal and American Oversight filed a similar lawsuit with the same court Sept. 4 against the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
