DC Court Orders DOJ to Preserve Comey Emails. DOJ must release records from Comey's private email account by September 28th

Sara Carter reports,
...After June’s DOJ Inspector General’s report revealed that Comey had used a personal email for work-related business, Judicial Watch and the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) filed a motion with the D.C. district court seeking an order to have the Justice Department preserve those emails. This motion was opposed by the Justice Department and the FBI.

Prior to that motion, on April 25, the Daily Caller and Judicial Watch filed a joint lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) seeking records and emails from Comey “regarding meetings and conversations he had with then-President Barack Obama, then-Vice President Joe Biden and a variety of other political figures.”

Judicial Watch president, Tom Fitton, said “The FBI has been playing shell games with Comey’s records and other records, so we’re pleased the court issued this preservation order. This preservation order helps to ensure no Comey records are going to be lost or destroyed. We expect the DOJ to take immediate steps to make sure the records are preserved, as the court ordered.”
