Case DescriptionReporter Jason Leopold submitted FOIA requests to the Criminal Division at the Department of Justice, the CIA, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. His request to the Criminal Division asked for records concerning criminal referrals made by the Intelligence Community Inspector General or any other government agency mentioning or referring to any potential campaign finance violations by President Donald Trump. Leopold also requested expedited processing and a fee waiver. The Criminal Division acknowledged receipt of the request and granted Leopold's request for expedited processing. Leopold made the same request to ODNI. ODNI acknowledged receipt of the request and granted Leopold's request for expedited processing. Leopold made a similar request to the CIA. The CIA acknowledged receipt of the request and granted Leopold's request for expedited processing. After hearing nothing further from any of the agencies, Leopold filed suit.

2022-08-16MINUTE ORDER denying without prejudice in part Defendants' 23 Motion for Summary Judgment and Plaintiffs' 25 Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment. In this FOIA case, the parties have cross-moved for summary judgment as to three issues stemming from requests about President Trump's July 2019 call with the President of Ukraine. The Court begins with the adequacy of DOJ's search for the requested records: (1) criminal referrals about an alleged campaign finance violation of President Trump during the call and (2) any "declinations to open up a formal criminal inquiry" into the President's conduct. ECF No. 23-1 ¶ 6. When an agency's search is challenged on summary judgment, the "agency must show that it made a good faith effort to conduct a search for the requested records, using methods which can be reasonably expected to produce the information requested." Cole v. Copan , 485 F. Supp. 3d 243, 250 (D.D.C. 2020) (cleaned up). It can do this "by providing declarations...that are relatively detailed, nonconclusory and submitted in good faith." Id. (cleaned up). Here, DOJ's declarant explains that the only search conducted was the Criminal Division's Deputy Assistant Attorney General's search of his email accounts and hard copy files. ECF No. 23-1 ¶ 13. This is so, she says, because the DAAG was "one of only two individuals involved in reviewing the referral and drafting the recommendation memorandum" eventually sent to the Assistant Attorney General. Id. ¶ 12. Plaintiffs argue that DOJ should have searched for records in its Public Integrity Section, since the declarant mentions that the Director of the Election Crimes Branch of that unit concurred with the DAAG's recommendation memorandum. ECF No. 25-1 at 2-3. But the Director's mere "concurrence," ECF No. 23-1 ¶ 16, with the recommendation does not suggest that Public Integrity would have any unidentified copies of "criminal referrals" or "declinations to open up a formal criminal inquiry," which is all Plaintiffs requested, id. ¶ 6. That said, there are gaps in DOJ's explanation of its search that give the Court pause. Its declarant concludes that the DAAG "would be in possession of all relevant communications regarding [the recommendation] process," so "a search by him would not exclude any likely sources of responsive records." Id. ¶ 13. But the declarant does not explain why the DAAG would have "all relevant communications." The Government says that the DAAG told the declarant that he would, ECF No. 27 at 3, but the declarant never says so, ECF No. 23-1 ¶ ¶ 11-13. The declarant simply asserts it as fact. The declarant, and the Government's response more generally, also appear to take as a given that there was only one declination (and corresponding recommendation) for multiple "referrals from the Intelligence Community Inspector General," but the declarant never states that clearly. Id. ¶ 13. In fact, confusingly, at times she also suggests that the DAAG's recommendation was in response to only one "referral." Id. ¶ 12. And against this backdrop, the declarant never explains why the second individual "involved in reviewing the referral and recommendation memorandum" never searched his or her files for responsive records. Id. There may be an explanation why this person's files would be unlikely to possess any other responsive records -- because, for example, there was only one recommendation memorandum relating to all the relevant declinations and all the relevant referrals, but if so, DOJ needs to say that more clearly. All in all, the "Court cannot fill in these gaps for the agency under the auspices of good-faith deference. It is the agency's burden to supply this information to secure summary judgment, and [DOJ] has failed to meet that burden." Nat'l Sec. Couns. v. CIA , 960 F. Supp. 2d 101, 154 (D.D.C. 2013). The Court shall provide DOJ the opportunity to provide a more detailed declaration alongside a renewed motion for summary judgment, or proceed otherwise in a manner consistent with its obligations under FOIA. But, given the above, it is hereby ORDERED that Defendants' 23 Motion for Summary Judgment and Plaintiffs' 25 Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment are DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE IN PART. Signed by Judge Timothy J. Kelly on 8/16/2022. (lctjk1) (Entered: 08/16/2022)
2022-08-16MINUTE ORDER granting in part Defendant's 23 Motion for Summary Judgment and denying in part Plaintiffs' 25 Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment. The Court will grant Defendants summary judgment with respect to the remaining two issues: (1) DOJ's withholding of the DAAG's recommendation memorandum and (2) CIA's Glomar response. DOJ withheld the memorandum under FOIA Exemption 5, invoking both deliberative process privilege and attorney work-product privilege. Plaintiffs do not dispute that the recommendation memorandum is attorney work-product, see ECF No. 25, so the only question is whether DOJ has shown that reasonably foreseeable harm would result from the memorandum's public release. See 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(8)(A). It has. "[T]he context and purpose of withheld information can support a finding of foreseeable harm." Louise Trauma Ctr. LLC v. DHS , No. 20-cv-1128 (TNM), 2022 WL 1081097, at *4 (D.D.C. Apr. 11, 2022) (cleaned up). And the "context and purpose of attorney work product makes self-evident the harm from its disclosure." Id. at *6 (cleaned up); see also, e.g. , Selgjekaj v. Exec. Off. for U.S. Att'ys , No. 20-cv-2145 (CRC), 2021 WL 3472437, at *5 (D.D.C. Aug. 6, 2021). As for the Glomar response, providing one is "proper if the fact of the existence or nonexistence of agency records falls within a FOIA exemption." Wolf v. CIA , 473 F.3d 370, 374 (D.C. Cir. 2007). Here, CIA has sufficiently shown that the existence or nonexistence of records responsive to Plaintiffs' request about the Ukraine call falls under Exemption 1, which protects information properly classified under an Executive Order. Specifically, Executive Order 13526 authorizes the classification of information about "intelligence sources or methods" that "could reasonably be expected to cause identifiable or describable damage to the national security." 75 Fed. Reg. 707 (Jan. 5, 2010). And CIA's declarant explains that the existence or nonexistence of records responsive to Plaintiffs' request would suggest whether CIA "had some type of involvement in, connection to, or intelligence interest" in the Ukraine call. ECF No. 23-2 ¶ 20. That is information CIA generally withholds because it would reveal sensitive information about CIA's "intelligence sources and methods," and disclosure could "reasonably be expected to cause damage to national security." Id. ¶ 21. According to CIA, disclosing the methods could "damag[e] information-sharing relationships" with other countries. Id. Disclosure could also give foreign countries "insight into the CIA's...intelligence priorities or gaps." Id. "Mindful that courts have little expertise in either international diplomacy or counterintelligence operations," this Court is "in no position to dismiss" these "facially reasonable concerns." Frugone v. CIA , 169 F.3d 772, 775 (D.C. Cir. 1999). Thus, the existence or nonexistence of responsive records is properly classified and protected by Exemption 1. The Court need not consider CIA's arguments about another exemption to find its Glomar response proper. For all these reasons, it is hereby ORDERED that Defendants' 23 Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED IN PART, with respect to DOJ's withholding of the recommendation letter and CIA's Glomar response, and Plaintiffs' 25 Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED IN PART, with respect to the same. It is further ORDERED that the parties shall file a joint status report by September 2, 2022, updating the Court on how they intend to proceed and proposing a schedule for further proceedings.
