The Center for Public Integrity sought more than 100 pages of documents from the Department of Defense and White House Office of Budget and Management, much of which came back heavily redacted.

There are nine exemptions that allow government agencies to withhold information or documents in the face of FOIA requests.

Sensitive information that falls into any of these fields can be redacted. In this case, applicants can appeal the extent of redaction and request more information, as Public Integrity now plans to do. The initial request was fast-tracked by the federal court, which said the documents must be provided as quickly as possible as they were intended"to inform the public on a matter of extreme national concern."

JuddApatow Hmmm. This looks remarkably similar to Trump's personal copy of the US Constitution.

JuddApatow not surprised

Nothing to Hide here? Trump's hiding it All! Today read but do Not respond to his Tweets or Retweet them - that will make him Xrazy when people stop responding to him TrumpBlackoutFriday TrumpBlackoutFriday TrumpBlackoutFriday

They will just keep slithering away. Until they are stopped. Impeachment is a consequence.

One day it will be un-redacted- I hope soon. As soon as Trump is gone. I hope every Republican has to eat it.

Such corruption

Shocking isn't it?

Just think of it like deleting 20000 emails

Millions in military aid at center of impeachment hasn't reached UkraineAbout $20 million of the Pentagon aid originally held up by President Trump hasn't reached Ukraine. The continued delay undermines a key argument against impeachment made by a new White House legal memo and Trump's Republican allies. To be fair, when trump shook down Ukraine, he asked for a favor that was never fulfilled, so no investigation into a rival, no aid, simple as that. And yet ever single republican continues to perpetuate the lies. Facts matter. Full aid has not been delivered. Your arguments are discredited. GOPLeader RepDougCollins DevinNunes JudiciaryGOP
