Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief (04/29/2009)
Description:
Public Citizen is representing George Lardner, who is writing a book on the presidential pardon power, and who requested documents from the Department of Justice's Office of the Pardon Attorney concerning a certain pardon applicant, Chibueze Okorie. DOJ has refused to release certain portions of the requested records, claiming privacy and deliberative process exemptions.

Because Public Citizen does not accept funds from corporations, professional associations or government agencies, we can remain independent and follow the truth wherever it may lead. But that means we depend on the generosity of concerned citizens like you for the resources to fight on behalf of the public interest. If you would like to help us in our fight, click here.
