Notable Quotes 3

This case involves records at the core of FOIA Exemption 7(A)—records that could reasonably be expected to interfere with two pending federal criminal prosecutions, one a death penalty case.

BOP's reliance on Exemptions 6 and 7(C) to protect images of Epstein's body and the names of his associates was also proper.

The Government has more than met its burden to articulate a rational link between public disclosure of the records and anticipated interference with the pending criminal cases through the declarations of a supervising prosecutor within the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.
