Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch on Monday announced that it filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Transportation Department seeking information about the painting of the phrase "Black Lives Matter" on a public street in Washington, D.C. and the closing off foot and pedestrian traffic on that stretch of road for months.
The group filed the suit after filing a FOIA request in August with the department's Federal Highway Administration regarding communication with the District of Columbia's Department of Transportation about the painting on the street, the street closure and records identifying protocols on shutting down roads deemed part of the District Evacuation Route.
The plaza stretches about three blocks on 16th Street NW, about one block from the White House.
