Case DescriptionCenter for Investigative Reporting reporter Aaron Sankin submitted two FOIA requests to the FBI for records concerning reports pertaining to extremist activity on 4chan. CIR also requested expedited processing and inclusion in the news media fee category. The FBI acknowledged receipt of the requests. The agency provided 18 pages of previously released records in response to Sankin's first request and told Sankin that more responsive records might exist. Sankin filed an administrative appeal of that decision. After hearing nothing further from the agency, Sankin and CIR filed suit.
