Overview
- Miami Herald reporter Julie K. Brown found her July 2019 American Airlines booking attached to a grand jury subpoena in the latest DOJ release and publicly questioned why her travel data was obtained.
- The House Oversight Democrats asked the DOJ to explain the presence of a journalist’s travel records, and Rep. Eric Swalwell urged hearings and other measures over delays and withholding.
- The DOJ says the SDNY and FBI identified over a million additional pages for review, extending a rolling, heavily redacted release that missed the law’s Dec. 19 deadline and could take weeks.
- Victims’ attorney Jack Scarola pressed for the still‑withheld 2007 draft 60‑count indictment, an 82‑page prosecution memorandum, and internal DOJ communications to clarify past prosecutorial decisions.
- Legal readers say documents indicate the DOJ identified at least ten potential co‑conspirators around 2019, while critics argue redactions exceed statutory limits and in some instances were improperly applied.
