PPSA Submits Two Freedom of Information Act Requests to the Department of Justice & FBI

1/17/2020

 
​On Tuesday, the Project for Privacy and Surveillance Accountability submitted two Freedom of Information Act requests to the Department of Justice and the FBI, seeking any and all communications between department officials and David S. Kris since he resigned as President Obama's Deputy Attorney General for the National Security Division in early 2011. Kris was recently appointed by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to review the FBI's proposed plan to ensure that the "mistakes" made by the Bureau (and exposed in the Horowitz Report) during the Crossfire Hurricane Investigation are not repeated in future cases before the FISC. Kris's appointment has come under fire because of his defense of the FBI's handling of the Carter Page investigation and public criticism of the Nunes memo. These FOIA requests are designed to see if any agency officials solicited those comments or if Kris had any inside information about Crossfire Hurricane at the time he made those comments.
