Summary
This is a letter dated August 19, 2015, from attorney Martin G. Weinberg to the DOJ's Office of Information Policy, appealing on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein regarding the FBI's slow processing of a FOIA request. Weinberg argues that the FBI is failing to meet its statutory obligations, noting that only two batches of documents have been produced in over two years from a file exceeding 12,000 pages, and projecting that at the current pace, the file won't be fully processed until 2025. The letter references previous correspondence with FBI Liaison Dennis Argall and requests the OIP to compel the FBI to comply promptly.
