In this Dec. 6, 2016, photo, President-elect Donald Trump speaks to supporters during a rally in Fayetteville, N.C. They’re at opposite ends of the political spectrum, but two Washington groups that had been focused squarely on Hillary Clinton now have something in common: preserving their very existence. On Tuesday, each made its first stab at carving out a new mission, touting their ability to bird-dog the incoming Trump administration. They’ll use similar tactics, including Freedom of Information Act requests, lawsuits and public shaming, but a conservative group operating in Republican-led Washington is likely to have a tougher time pleasing its donors.
