[JtN] A federal judge slapped down by his appeals court for "abuse of discretion" — continuing a contempt investigation of the Trump administration related to its deportation flights — saw nothing wrong with secretly authorizing the Biden administration to pore over the whole digital life of President Trump's friend and former adviser.
Government watchdogs are pressing different judges in D.C. federal court to open the books on the Biden administration's alleged censorship-industrial complex and weaponization of the feds against political enemies, as the FOIA case nears its conclusion and Michael Caputo seeks a peek at the search warrant against him authorized by U.S. District Judge James Boasberg.
The FBI wrongly claims that a FOIA exemption for records "compiled for law enforcement purposes" completely shields its payments to platforms including the former Twitter, known to have received more than $3 million to process censorship requests, the New Civil Liberties Alliance said in its motion for summary judgment against the feds. |
