Am. Oversight v. DOJ (2nd Cir.) -- affirming district court’s decision that FBI properly relied on Exemption 5’s attorney work-product privilege to withhold records generated from interviews of targets or subjects related to investigation of persons associated with Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign; rejecting appellant’s flawed reasoning that “an attorney can waive protection for work-product documents even before the documents exist.”
