His office also stopped releasing public schedules and invoked “executive privilege” to withhold emails — a legal claim not recognized in Nebraska’s public records laws. Critics argue this tactic lets him hide communications from personal devices used for official business, undermining public accountability and challenging long-standing legal interpretations. The Flatwater Free Press continues to press for clarity on whether private devices are exempt from public records laws — a question that could reshape how state officials handle transparency moving forward.
