A nonprofit watchdog group has sued the Biden administration for its failure to turn over documents that explain how massive government contracts to detain migrants at the border were awarded to a former Biden transition team member.

The Washington-based American Accountability Foundation on Wednesday filed two lawsuits against the departments of Health and Human Services and Homeland Security for not releasing documents about contracts each department gave to the nonprofit organization Endeavors last spring. The AAF submitted two Freedom of Information Act requests 11 months ago for all communications in an effort to determine if there was a “quid pro quo” between government officials and a former Biden official, Andrew Lorenzen-Strait, following the Washington Examiner’s investigation in March 2021.
