Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge James Boasberg has ruled that while the FBI properly invoked a Glomar response neither confirming nor denying the existence of records on Donald Trump before he became President there may be a narrow category of records that relate to Trump's business interests that are not necessarily protected by Exemption 7(C) (invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement records) and would not qualify for Glomar protection. Reporter Jason Leopold, researcher Ryan Shapiro, and Shapiro's non-profit organization Property of the People requested FBI records on Trump before he became President, including any non-investigative records. The FBI issued a Glomar response. Leopold and Shapiro argued that the FBI had already disclosed a considerable amount of information about Trump's business interests and that such disclosures waived the agency's ability to withhold records related to those interests. The agency argued that its obligation to acknowledge records on Trump was limited only to those bits of information about Trump that had already been disclosed. Boasberg agreed, noting that "the 'specific information at issue' is whether the FBI might have 'additional records about Mr. Trump.' The public hasn't a clue on that question, and the Bureau is entitled to keep the answer a secret. The Court accordingly holds that the FBI has waived its Glomar response only with respect to those exact records previously released." Even though Leopold and Shapiro had asked for non-investigative records on Trump, the FBI contended it need not search for such records because the plaintiffs had not provided evidence that such records existed. But Boasberg observed that "contrary to Defendant's (uncited) assertions, there is no requirement that Plaintiffs provide evidence that such records exist." The FBI also argued that since the majority of its records pertained to law enforcement matters it would be unduly burdensome to search for non-investigative records. Boasberg rejected that claim, noting that "perhaps the Government can prove otherwise, but it does not appear 'unduly burdensome' to ask the agency to search for Donald Trump's name within the [Central Records System database] and see whether any personnel or administrative records surface." He indicated that "for now, though, it suffices to say that the FBI should construe Plaintiff's request as written �" for 'any and all' records related to Donald Trump �"or submit an affidavit explaining in greater detail why such a search would be unduly burdensome." As a general rule, Boasberg agreed with the FBI that any investigative records mentioning Trump would be protected by Exemption 7(C). Here, Leopold and Shapiro argued that Trump's privacy interest was diminished if the records related to Trump's business interests rather than his personal privacy interest. Noting that the public interest in overcoming a Glomar response was to reveal the actions of the government, Boasberg pointed out that "plaintiffs offer no evidence, however, that the Department might harbor some sort of grudge against the sitting President, or, critically, that any such feelings motivated an 'improper' performance of its statutory duties in the past." Boasberg explained that "Exemption 7(C) would not block a request for records relating to the Trump Organization, nor would it require the FBI to redact any mention of Trump's affiliation with that company." But he added that Leopold and Shapiro had already made requests for records about Trump's businesses and charities, but because the extent to which the FBI had disclosed records as a result of those requests was unclear, Boasberg ordered the FBI to provide supplementary affidavits. Leopold and Shapiro had pointed to the existence of a Washington Post article about Trump's Atlantic City casinos in which Trump revealed his relationship with Daniel Sullivan who he described as an FBI informant. Boasberg agreed with Leopold and Shapiro that the Post article may have waived the FBI's ability to protect those records through a Glomar response. But he noted that the Post article was the subject of a separate request to the FBI and was not a part of the present litigation.
Issues: Exemption 7(C) - Invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement records, Determination - Glomar response

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge James Boasberg has ruled that the FBI justified some of its exemption claims in response to a request from Property of the People for records discussing former President Donald Trump's connection with a two-decades-old gambling investigation. The FOIA suit also included journalist Jason Leopold and researcher Ryan Shapiro. The FBI withheld records under Exemption 3 (other statutes), Exemption 7(C) (invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement record), Exemption 7(D) (confidential sources), and Exemption 7(E) (investigative methods or techniques). After Boasberg reviewed the disputed documents in camera, he began by addressing the Exemption 3 claims. The FBI withheld records under Rule 6(e) on grand jury secrecy. He accepted those redactions, noting that "the information Plaintiffs seek would indeed reveal much about the grand jury's activity here." The FBI also withheld records under Title III's wiretapping provisions. Boasberg indicated that his review confirmed that the exempted records had been sealed by the original court. To resolve this problem, he noted that "the Government, which did not mention this issue in briefing, must first determine if the sealing orders remain in effect. If so, it cannot release the documents. If the orders are no longer extant, then the Government must release material unrelated to the actual interceptions. . ." He also agreed with the agency's Exemption 7(A) claim. He pointed out that "DOJ here has provided substantive explanations for how disclosure may allow an individual currently under investigation to 'analyze the information in the documents pertinent to the investigation' and identify potential witnesses or 'counteract evidence developed by investigators.'" Property of the People argued that Exemption 7(C) only applied to personally identifying information. However, Boasberg noted that "the exemption protects not only actual identities, but also other information that may reveal the identity of an individual without naming him explicitly." Applying that here, he noted that "because the documents contain identifying details revealed in interviews, the Court finds that even with the redactions supported by Plaintiff, release would invade the interest third-party individuals have in remaining unassociated with federal investigations." Property of the People questioned whether the FBI had provided assurances of confidentiality under Exemption 7(D). Boasberg noted that "here, the Government has provided affidavits supporting its claim that the foreign government at issue 'provided information under an express assurance of confidentiality' during the course of a cooperative investigation." Boasberg rejected the agency's claim that surveillance logs were protected by Exemption 7(E). Instead, he pointed out that "the Government has generally agreed that logs memorializing the physical surveillance of a subject to report his movements is not the kind of law-enforcement technique protected by Exemption 7(E)."
