A legal group headed by ex-Donald Trump adviser Stephen Miller accused the Defense Department on Thursday of failing to answer a request for an Obama-era memo that may reveal pertinent information surrounding the 45th president’s classified documents indictment.
America First Legal in January filed a Freedom of Information Act request to compel the DOD to submit information pertaining to a “secretive” technology committee created in 2014 under then-President Barack Obama in response to foreign cyberattack threats. Miller’s group argues that the Presidential Information Technology Committee “creates a presumption that the President controls all information he receives” and says that it could have sweeping implications for Trump’s 40-count indictment of allegedly mishandling classified records.
“The Defendant has violated the FOIA by failing to reasonably search for records responsive to AFL’s FOIA request and release nonexempt records within the prescribed time limit,” lawyers for Miller’s group wrote, noting the agency only acknowledged the request on March 15 and “has not released any responsive records” as of Thursday.

The documents case against Trump was artfully cooked so as to make it seem as if it originated as a matter of bureaucratic routine. It is a shameful mark against Judge Cannon that the criminal defense discovery process in her court is so weak that America First Legal must try to use FOIA to find out the truth. I hope the day comes when Jack Smith and other DOJ lawyers pursuing Trump get prosecuted and disbarred for their gross misconduct.
Trump-Miller 2024!
