Team Trump may have scrubbed the government sites of climate change and LGBTQ rights policy, but they left the Obama administration's citizen-generated petition page. Oops! Brent Griffiths writes:

The “We the People” petition site created by the Obama Administration has been kept live by President Donald Trump's team as it relaunches the White House website, and the only petition now on the site, which has been wiped clean of Obama-era requests, demands that the new commander-in-chief release his tax returns.

“The unprecedented economic conflicts of this administration need to be visible to the American people, including any pertinent documentation which can reveal the foreign influences and financial interests which may put Donald Trump in conflict with the emoluments clause of the Constitution,” the petition reads.

By mid-afternoon Friday, 2,762 people had signed it. Why not add your name?
