Biden Admin HIDING Records on Its Abuse of Trump

Judicial Watch Files Two New FOIA Lawsuits for Records on Biden Raid
on Trump Home

[[link removed]]
We’re in court again to uncover more details of the Biden
operation’s decision-making leading up to its unconscionable raid on
President Trump’s Florida home.

We filed two FOIA suits against the Justice Department for FBI and DOJ
records of the Mar-a-Lago raid search warrant application and
approval, as well as communications about the warrant between the FBI,
Executive Office of the President and the Secret Service.

We sued in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia after
the DOJ failed to respond to August 2022 FOIA requests. The first
complaint asks for all records documenting the application,
authorization and communications related to the execution of a search
warrant at the residence of President Trump on August 8, 2022
(_Judicial Watch Inc. v. U.S. Department of Justice_
[[link removed]])
(No. 1:22-cv-02884)).

Additionally, we are suing for all records of meetings or phone calls
between Director Wray, Deputy Director Abbate, Associate Deputy
Director Turner, Associate Deputy Director Sallet, and/or Chief of
Staff Lenzner pertaining to the search warrant. We also requested
communications between the FBI and the Executive Office of the
President and/or the Secret Service regarding the search warrant
(_Judicial Watch Inc. v. U.S. Department of Justice_
[[link removed]])
(No. 1:22-cv-02883)).

We are at the forefront of the court battle for transparency regarding
the abusive Biden raid on Trump’s home.

In August, we forced the release
[[link removed]]
of the
raid affidavit. We also just sued
[[link removed]]
the
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) for records about
its controversial targeting of former President Trump over this
records dispute.

The American people have a right to know the entire story about the
Biden administration’s abusive raid on President Trump’s home. The
raid on President Trump’s home was an outrageous, reckless, and
unprecedented abuse of power – and the unlawful Biden agency secrecy
about the raid only adds to the scandal.

JUDICIAL WATCH SUES CALIFORNIA SEC OF STATE FOR CAUSING YOUTUBE TO
CENSOR KEY ELECTION INTEGRITY VIDEO JUST BEFORE 2020 ELECTION

Our country works only if we have clean elections, and we suffer if
the government imposes restraints on the exposure of less than fair
voting. That happened in California – to us. But it’s the voters
who deserve redress.

We filed a lawsuit against the Secretary of State of the State of
California for having YouTube censor a Judicial Watch election
integrity video (_Judicial Watch, Inc. v. Shirley Weber, in her
official capacity as Secretary of State of the State of California_
[[link removed]]
(No. 2:22-cv-6894)).

We sued in the U.S. District Court Central District of California
Western Division. Our suit states that the California Office of
Elections Cybersecurity (OEC), which Secretary of State Shirley Weber
oversees, caused YouTube to remove our election integrity video on
September 25, 2020. We allege that the California official and her
office violated our First Amendment and other civil rights.

As we explain to the court, we have posted more than 4,200 videos on
our YouTube channel since 2006 and they have received nearly 94
million views. Our channel has more than 502,000 subscribers. Because
of the state’s action, the video in question received only 5,531
views.

We ask the court to declare the state's actions to be unconstitutional
and permanently enjoin it from violating our constitutional rights and
unconstitutionally regulating our speech.

Here’s the story.

On September 22, 2020, we posted on our YouTube channel a video titled
“**ELECTION INTEGRITY CRISIS** Dirty Voter Rolls, Ballot Harvesting
& Mail-in-Voting Risks!
[[link removed]
The 26-minute
video featured me discussing the vote-by-mail processes, changes to
states’ election procedures, ballot collection (sometimes referred
to as “ballot harvesting”), and states’ failures to clean up
their voter rolls, among other topics.

The complaint states that my comments were informed by successful
lawsuits we brought against Los Angeles County and Weber in 2017 to
compel the county and state to comply with the National Voter
Registration Act’s (NVRA
[[link removed]])
voter list maintenance requirements. For instance, in June 2019
[[link removed]],
we were informed that Los Angeles County had sent notices to 1.6
million inactive voters on its voter rolls after a settlement
agreement had been reached. Prior to the California settlement
agreement
[[link removed]],
we estimated that national census data and voter-roll information
showed that there were 3.5 million
[[link removed]]
more
names on various county voter rolls nationwide than there were
citizens of voting age
[[link removed]].

Records show the Office of Elections Cybersecurity communicated with
YouTube and/or Google to have our video taken down
[[link removed]].
On
September 24, 2020, OEC Social Media Coordinator Akilah Jones emailed
“[email protected]
[[link removed]
and copied four YouTube
employees with the subject line, “REPORT VIDEO: **ELECTION INTEGRITY
CRISIS** Dirty Voter Rolls, Ballot Harvesting & Mail-in-Voting
Risks!” In the email, Jones wrote:

Hi YouTube Reporting Team,

I am reporting the following video because it misleads community
members about elections or other civic processes and misrepresents the
safety and security of mail-in ballots. Thank you for your time and
attention on this matter.

All the best, Akilah.
At or about 11:16 a.m. (ET) on September 25, 2020, YouTube and/or
Google representative Andrea Holtermann replied to Jones:

Hi Akilah,

Thanks for reaching out. We will look into this and get back to you as
soon as we can.
Later that same day, we noticed that the video had been taken down.

On September 27, 2020, YouTube and/or Google’s Holtermann confirmed
to Jones that Judicial Watch’s video had been removed:

Hi Akilah,

Circling back on this. Thank you for raising this content to our
attention, this has been removed from the platform for violating our
policies. Please do not hesitate to reach out if there are any other
questions or concerns you may have.
Our complaint establishes that the actions of Weber and OEC
violated our First and Fourteen Amendment rights, as well as civil
rights violations under the California constitution.

Smoking gun documents show California government officials, who were
being advised by the Biden campaign PR operation, caused YouTube to
censor a key Judicial Watch video just before the 2020 election. This
egregious government censorship and election interference violated our
civil rights, and our lawsuit seeks to stop and expose the growing
corruption of leftist government officials colluding with Big Tech
allies to attack the free speech rights of Americans.

JUDICIAL WATCH SUES ON BEHALF OF CONCERNED MILITARY GROUP FOR AIR
FORCE ACADEMY CRITICAL RACE THEORY RECORDS

Judicial Watch is a national leader in exposing (and trying to stop)
the intrusion of Marxist propaganda in our military academies.

In June, we received
[[link removed]]
records
revealing critical race theory instruction at the U.S. Military
Academy at West Point.

In July we sued
[[link removed]]
the Defense Department for records related to the United States Naval
Academy implementing critical race theory in the training of naval
recruits.

Thankfully, we’re not the only ones who are concerned. A group that
included retired and distinguished military officers have noticed what
is happening to their academies. We’re honored to assist them and
get the truth.

Judicial Watch just filed a FOIA suit on behalf of Stand Together
Against Racism and Radicalism in the Services, Inc. (STARRS) against
the Defense Department for U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA) records
regarding “systemic racism,” as well as records of critical race
theory at the academy (_Stand Together Against Racism and Radicalism
in the Services, Inc. v U.S. Department of Defense_
[[link removed]]
(No. 1:22-cv-02894)).

We sued in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia after
the Air Force refused to respond adequately to two FOIA requests about
its race theory materials.

In our complaint we explained to the court that STARRS asked for
records relating to a July 8, 2020, memorandum issued by the USAFA
superintendent which stated, in part, that: “[s]ystemic racism
exists in our society, and our USAFA community is not immune.” The
memorandum also stated that there would be “an institutional
assessment and review for biases within our policies, processes,
practices, curriculum, and artifacts … [that] will be used to make
tangible, lasting changes, and to inform future actions.” Our
lawsuit also seeks records about any CRT training of USAFA cadets.

Founded by a group of distinguished retired military officers, STARRS
is concerned about efforts to teach and implement aspects of CRT in
U.S. military academies and throughout the U.S. Armed Forces. STARRS
has grown to 2,932 members, including general officers, service
academy graduates, retired and active-duty officers and enlisted, and
concerned civilians
([link removed]).

According to U.S. Air Force retired Lieutenant General Rod Bishop,
STARRS’ Chairman of the Board, and the STARRS leadership team, each
of which served decades in uniform: “The USAFA’s
superintendent’s claim of systemic racism at the Academy did not
comport with our experience. So, we filed a FOIA request to learn more
from the assessment he demanded. This was not a complex request. The
continuing refusal to respond to this request speaks volumes.”

Our military is being undermined from within as the Air Force Academy
attacks America and force feed cadets repackaged Marxist anti-American
critical race theory.

Until next week,
