FOIA News: D.C. Circuit to hear FOIA argument on Mar. 2.

On Monday, March 2, 2020, the D.C. Circuit will hear oral argument in Bloomgarden v. NARA, which concerns the agency’s use of Exemption 6 to withhold two documents related to the firing of an Assistant United States Attorney in 1995. The D.C. Circuit ruled in 2017 that the Department of Justice properly withheld a proposed termination letter concerning the same AUSA.
