Judicial Watch and The Daily Caller News Foundation have sued the Justice Department for access to former FBI Director James Comey's memos under the Freedom of Information Act.
September 08, 2017

Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit on behalf of the Daily Caller News Foundation against the U.S. Department of Justice seeking memoranda allegedly written by former FBI Director James Comey regarding his discussions with President Donald Trump and Trump’s aides.

The suit was filed after the Justice Department initially declined to respond to a June 9, 2017, FOIA request and then failed to respond to an administrative appeal. The request seeks: “All unclassified memoranda authored by former FBI Director James Comey that contemporaneously memorialized his discussions with President Donald Trump and his aides. The time frame for the request was from November 8, 2016 to May 9, 2017.”

Four of the seven memos that Comey wrote following his interactions with President Trump reportedly contained classified information.

Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder Neil Patel said:

Americans have a right know the full facts about former FBI Director James Comey’s unclassified memos regarding his conversations with President Trump and his aides prior to his firing. And the FBI must be required to honor the Freedom of Information Act.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said:

Comey leaked information from these memos so that it could be picked up by the media. So it is a scandal that the FBI is hiding this information contrary to FOIA law.
