Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Tanya Chutkan has ruled that the agencies that received journalist Jeffrey Stein's series of requests for records about security concerns surrounding security briefings given to Donald Trump while he was a candidate and another series of requests about background investigations for 15 potential Trump administration appointees properly responded to Stein's requests although she concluded that records about the existence of background investigations did not qualify for protection under Exemption 6 (invasion of privacy). Three agencies â€" the CIA, the FBI, and the Office of the National Director of Intelligence â€" produced some records in response to Stein's security concerns requests. The same three agencies also provided some records in response to Stein's requests for records on 15 potential appointees. Grouping her analysis by agency, Chutkan found that the CIA had provided a sufficient explanation of its search and appropriately described those records it withheld in response to Stein's investigation requests. But she agreed with Stein that disclosure of the names of those investigated were not protected by Exemption 6. Although she found little public interest in disclosure of names, she indicated that "revealing the identities of public officials receiving security clearance investigations, unlike the identities of subjects of criminal investigations, would not 'subject those identified to embarrassment and potentially more serious reputational harm.'" Although Stein argued that the FBI had interpreted his requests too narrowly, Chutkan found the agency disagreed. Instead, she noted that the plain meaning of 'copies of all records, including emails, about any steps taken to investigate or authorize (or discussions about potentially investigating or authorizing [an individual] for access to classified information' reasonably encompasses information about the FBI's investigatory process. It does not extend to the data or results of the investigations. If Stein intended for his request to cover such information, he should have made a specific request; FBI's interpretation was not unreasonably merely because the agency declined to look beyond the text and construe the requests as broadly as Stein would like." However, she rejected the agency's claim that it had no records of investigation reports for either Ivanka Trump or Michael Flynn. Stein had provided two media reports indicating that investigations of Trump and Flynn had been conducted. Siding with Stein, Chutkan indicated that "Stein's argument is considerably more credible than a 'purely speculative claim about the existence of records and discoverability of other documents.' He casts enough doubt on the presumption of good faith accorded to the FBI's declaration to preclude summary judgment for the FBI as to these two requests, and the court will therefore direct FBI to submit an additional declaration explaining its search methodology for the two requests." Chutkan noted that OMB had properly interpreted the scope of Stein's investigation requests but found that identifying information was not protected by either Exemption 6 or Exemption 7(C) (invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement records). Although she indicated that the balance of interests favored OPM's decision to withhold the records, she ordered OPM to "submit a supplemental declaration to more fully explain why the requested information is exempt under Exemption 6 and/or Exemption 7(C)." Chutkan found that ODNI had properly invoked Exemption 6 to withhold identifying information because Stein had failed to articulate a public interest in disclosure. She pointed out that "here, the public has no overriding interest in disclosure with respect to ODNI. Because ODNI was not involved in conducting background investigations, it took no investigative 'steps' that the records could reveal."
Issues: Exemption 6 - Invasion of privacy, Exemption 7(C) - Invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement records

2018-12-06		MINUTE ORDER: Plaintiff's November 4, 2018 motion 31 to strike is DENIED. To the extent that Defendants' declarations contain legal arguments, the court will reach its own legal conclusions and regard the statements in the declarations as explanations of the declarant's understanding of the issues of the case. See Ctr. for Auto Safety v. Nat'l Highway Traffic Safety Admin. , 93 F. Supp. 2d 1, 12 (D.D.C. 2000) (denying motion to strike declarations on the basis that they contain legal arguments and conclusions because "any [s]tatements of ultimate fact and conclusions of law will be regarded simply as declarations of each affiant's understanding of the veracity of [the opposing party's] allegations, to the best of [the affiant's] knowledge"). Consequently, because the sole basis for Plaintiff's November 29, 2018 motion 36 to stay briefing is the pendency of his motion to strike, the motion to stay is also DENIED. Lastly, Defendants' December 4, 2018 unopposed motion 37 for an extension of time to file their opposition and reply brief is GRANTED. Defendants shall file their combined brief in opposition to Plaintiff's motion for summary and reply in support of Defendants' motion for summary judgment by December 21, 2018; and Plaintiff shall file his reply brief by February 1, 2019.
