Judicial Watch v. DOJ (D.C. Cir.) -- reversing district court’s decision that DOJ properly withheld working draft statements of then-Attorney General Sally Yates under Exemption 5’s deliberative process privilege and holding that agency’s declaration neglected to address “the ‘who,’ i.e., the roles of the document drafters and recipients and their places in the chain of command; the ‘what,’ i.e., the nature of the withheld content; the ‘where,’ i.e., the stage within the broader deliberative process in which the withheld material operates; and the ‘how,’ i.e., the way in which the withheld material facilitated agency deliberation.”
