Lawsuit Claims White House Violating the Presidential Records Act
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, a pair of government accountability groups has sued the Trump
administration over its use of encrypted messaging apps, saying their
use circumvents the Presidential Records Act. Top White House officials
reportedly use the "Confide" app, which automatically deletes messages
after a set period of time. In a statement, Citizens for Responsibility
and Ethics in Washington said, "The American people not only deserve to
know how their government is making important decisions, it's the law."
