Lawsuits
CREW v. Department of Justice
On June 16, 2011, CREW sued the Department of Justice (DOJ) for failing to provide CREW records under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) concerning investigations in which the late Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) was named. DOJ conducted multiple investigations into lobbying of Rep. Murtha and earmarks he obtained for a number of organizations and clients of lobbying firms, including Paul Magliocchetti, and defense contractors in Rep. Murtha’s district. CREW’s FOIA requesst to the FBI, Criminal Division, and the Executive Office of United States Attorneys sought records concerning these investigations in an effort to determine why DOJ never prosecuted Rep. Murtha.
