CREW Sends FOIA to DOJ Seeking Copies of Torture Memo Author John Yoo’s Emails
Washington, D.C. - Today, CREW sent a follow-up Freedom of Information Act request to the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel seeking copies of all of John Yoo’s emails, whether in paper or electronic form. Through this request CREW seeks to ascertain the extent to which Mr. Yoo’s emails were destroyed, as referenced in a recently released report from the Office of Professional Responsibility, and whether that destruction was limited to emails on a particular subject, suggesting willful conduct by Mr. Yoo or others.
