Case Description | Defending Rights & Dissent submitted FOIA requests to the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, the FBI, the Department of Justice, and the National Security Agency for records concerning investigations resulting from The Intercept publishing information about U.S. terror watch list in July and August 2014. The agencies acknowledged receipt of the requests. The FBI denied the request because it did not adequately describe searchable records. The NSA denied the request under Exemption 1 (national security). The NGA and the DOJ both told DRD that it was searching for records. After hearing nothing further from the agencies, DRD filed suit. Complaint issues: Failure to respond within statutory time limit, Adequacy - Search, Litigation - Attorney's fees | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
