The Times sued after STATE allegedly slow-walked a records request. A NYT lawyer said the State Department will start handing over records in April.
"The parties are still negotiating the number of pages to be processed in and the frequency of each production," McGraw wrote, "and propose to provide a status report to the Court March 25, 2022, of the results of this negotiation."
In a court filing Friday, David McCraw, wrote that the State Dept had begun identifying records the Times requested and agreed to give them to the Times starting in April.
"The State Department has started identifying records responsive to The Times's FOIA requests," McGraw wrote in a letter to the judge overseeing the lawsuit. "It has agreed to begin processing records for production as it continues to identify the remaining responsive records."
The Times sued, alleging the agency failed to respond in a timely manner to two FOIA requests. Kenneth Vogel, a journalist for the Times, requested copies of email correspondence between August 2015 and December 2019 between officials in the US embassy in Romania that mentioned Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden.
Vogel also asked for records mentioning Tony Bobulinski, a former business associate of Hunter Biden; Louis Freeh, the former FBI director who reportedly gave Biden a $100,000 gift; Rudy Giuliani, who then-President Donald Trump tasked with digging up dirt on Biden in Europe; Devin Archer, another former friend of the president's son who was recently sentenced to a year in prison on a fraud scheme; and more than a dozen other people.
The Times alleged State Department violated the law by failing to communicate about the records request in a timely manner. The agency told the Times that it would begin to produce documents for Vogel's requests in April of 2023.

Yeah, riiiiight.
That’s “right” after they finish getting rid of the incriminating ones.
The Brits would call it Hoovering.
We call it Hillary-izing.
The State Department makes the mafia appear law-abiding.
And the mafia has much more mature leadership.
No chance they release ANYTHING that hasn’t been doctored.
they’ll start providing the emails in April 2050.
No gop pac or other conservative media wasn’t suing for this? Judicial Watch?
Is this the same emesis and effluence from the contents of Hunter’s widely distributed laptop or are these emails from other sources?
Different....I gather.
Two possibilities:
1) Biden is still the Uniparty choice, so Hunter’s emails have to be deep-sixed.
2) Biden is no longer the Uniparty choice, so Hunter’s emails will be made public as the first step to shame SloJoe into either resigning or dying.
We’ll know which it is soon enough.
And not give them to the DOJ?
This will be one of those narratives where the NYTs says “since we have First Amendment rights of the press”, we can see these documents and tell you what is in them. You can’t actually see them yourselves, but we can, so trust us and we will tell you what these documents show.
“And not give them to the DOJ?”
You do know that Merrick Garland is listening right now?
So is Wray of the FBI that has Hunter’s laptop.
This has been a PSA.

2 mentions of handing over records, starting in April.
then, near the end of the excerpts, it’s April of 2023!
should all mentions be 2023?
.
Exactly.
They play lots of games.
This is just one round. I think 5 years later they found stuff on Seth Rich they swore for 5 yrs didn’t exist.
.
In order to minimize the damage. And anything really bad will either be redacted by the State Dept. or ignored by the NYT (See Tagline.)
what they really mean....
“State Department, along with the NYT, are fabricating Hunter Biden emails showing his is the most honorable, trustworthy, and moral man since Jesus. Then we will be giving them to the NYT to distribute the talking points.”
Most likely completely redacted.
