A conservative watchdog group is suing the Justice Department for all the materials the FBI recovered from former New York Rep. Anthony Weiner's laptop before the 2016 presidential election.Read more here.
Judicial Watch announced on Tuesday that it was taking legal action against DOJ under the Freedom of Information Act after the agency denied two information requests pertaining to the records seized in September 2016.
Judicial Watch's lawsuit follows RealClearInvestigations reporting in August that the FBI reviewed only 3,077 of the almost 700,000 emails found on the laptop as part of its search for evidence related to claims Weiner had lewd exchanges with a 15-year-old girl.
Weiner shared the device with his then-wife Huma Abedin, who at the time was an aide to 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, and the FBI's examination of the laptop yielded backed-up emails between Clinton and Abedin, as well as a handful that she had been manually forwarded to Weiner.
