Tinubu Seeks Court Order to Block FBI Records Release
President Bola Tinubu has formally asked the United States District Court for the District of Columbia to block the release of his unredacted records held by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). In legal filings made public on Saturday, Tinubu presented four reasons for his request.
He cited the US Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act, which he claims preclude the disclosure of his records. Tinubu argued that there is no public interest in releasing these documents and suggested that the plaintiff seeking the information has ulterior motives.
He emphasized that there is no public interest to balance against the privacy concerns raised by the potential release of his records.
