The Facts
The advocacy group America First Legal (AFL) has filed a lawsuit against the US Dept. of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, US Archivist Colleen Shogan, and the National Archives and Records Admin. (NARA) for allegedly destroying federal records belonging to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The suit claims that, despite the Federal Records Act setting a retention period of three years for emails of lower-level employees, a freedom of information request from (AFL) revealed that the CDC destroys all lower-level employee emails "30 days after they leave the agency."
AFL's freedom of information request in February 2023 had been in relation to records concerning alleged CDC advocacy for what it described as "teacher-led indoctrination of children with racial gender ideology."
The Spin
Republican narrative
It's one rule system for the Biden administration and another rule system for Trump as AFL has once again exposed the two-tiered legal system that continues to ravage America. While the corrupt Dept. of Justice continues to chase after the former president, the CDC shows no respect for the law and is allowed to mishandle documents as it pleases — this miscarriage of justice must be immediately corrected.
Democratic narrative
AFL should not be considered a legitimate legal organization but rather an attention-seeking lawfare body consistently attempting to push its conservative agenda into media headlines. The large majority of AFL cases hold little to no legal grounds whatsoever — until bad faith entities such as these are punished for their behavior, America's legal system will only continue to be abused.
