A month after blasting the FBI for its “woefully inadequate” response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit about its involvement in the Oklahoma City bombing, a U.S. federal judge has ordered the bureau to start producing 2,000 pages of OKC bomb records per month.
U.S. Judge Daphne Oberg’s Monday order was made in a lawsuit filed by Utah attorney Jesse Trentadue, who has been suing the FBI for records about a CIA asset and FBI informant who helped fund the Oklahoma City bombing, as well as for records about a neo-Nazi bank-robbery gang also involved in the attack.
Trentadue initially requested the records from the FBI in 2015, and waited nine years before filing his lawsuit in February 2024. In response to the lawsuit, the FBI proposed to produce 500 pages of documents per month, which would mean that it would take another nearly 12 years for the entire disclosure.
