(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) for all records regarding Joe Biden’s improper removal of classified materials while he was a U.S. Senator or Vice President and storage of the materials in unclassified settings as detailed in Special Counsel Robert Hur’s February 5, 2024 report (Judicial Watch v. Office of the Director of National Intelligence (No. 1:24-cv-01036)).
Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit after ODNI failed to comply with a February 21, 2024, FOIA request for damage assessments and equity reviews performed by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence related to the materials improperly removed by Biden.
In his report, Hur reports that the documents were found at Biden’s home in Delaware and at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, DC.
“The public deserves to know what the intelligence director’s office concluded about Joe Biden’s unlawful ‘mishandling’ of highly classified documents,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
In March 2024, Judicial Watch and the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) petitioned the Superior Court of the State of Delaware to reopen their case for the release of Biden’s Senate records kept at the University of Delaware in light of the findings of Hur that contradict representations made under oath by the University of Delaware that no taxpayer money was used to process Biden’s records. Judicial Watch initially filed the FOIA lawsuitagainst the University of Delaware for Biden’s Senate records, which are housed at the university’s library, in July 2020.
Also in March, Judicial Watch sued the U.S. Department of Justice for records of all Special Counsel interviews of President Biden.
In December 2024, Judicial filed a FOIA lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Defense for documents regarding a key Biden staffer allegedly involved in the handling of Biden’s materials housed at Penn Biden Center.
