Three FOIA requests were filed by conservative group Judicial Watch on July 16.
The Secret Service refused to provide the materials, claiming: “At this time, pursuant to Title 5 U.S.C. § 552(B)(7)(A), any potentially responsive records, if they exist, are exempt as disclosure could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings. The citation of the above exemption is not to be construed as the only exemption which may be available under the FOIA.”
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said the Secret Service is in “cover-up mode on its inexcusable and epic failure to protect former President Trump and other innocents.”
“For Secret Service leaders to promise transparency to Congress while hiding every possible FOIA record from the American people is yet another indictment of this corrupt and failing agency.”
