There is tremendous public interest in this request. Isabella Garcia-Camargo is a founder of the Election Integrity Partnership, and a former intern at CISA. Her conduct at both CISA and the Election Integrity Partnership is at issue in the lawsuit Murthy v. Missouri (originally filed as Missouri v. Biden), which is being taken up by the Supreme Court of the United States in their next session.
