Dedicated To Restoring Our Government to Citizens' Control

Statement of Citizens United President David N. Bossie on today’s Joint Status Report in Citizens United’s FOIA Litigation

“In today’s filing, the State Department finally disclosed to the court that it located 2,000 “retired”, unsearched, and previously unknown records of former Secretary Clinton, Huma Abedin, and Cheryl Mills that may be responsive to our FOIA requests in this lawsuit.”

“With this 11th hour revelation, the State Department has missed its court ordered deadline to finish the production of documents in this case.”

“These newly discovered records could impact document production in other Citizens United FOIA lawsuits as well as cases involving other plaintiffs.”

“Citizens United first filed these FOIAs in 2014 and filed the lawsuit to pry the records loose in April 2015. These records pertain to Clinton donors Gilbert Chagoury and Rajiv Fernando.”

“The public has a right to inspect records that are in the possession of their government. These delay tactics by the Obama Administration look like nothing more than an assist to former Secretary Clinton.”

“This latest declaration is more of the constant “drip, drip, drip” that Judge Sullivan spoke of last week.”
