Re: Freedom of Information Act Request

Dear FOIPA Request Service Center and Office of Information Policy,

Subject: Records Request Concerning Rudy Giuliani, Ruby Freeman, and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. § 552), I hereby request records from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2023, relating to Rudy Giuliani, Ruby Freeman, and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss.

Request for Records:I seek comprehensive access to:

• Detailed reports and analytical documents
• Written memoranda and briefing notes
• Email correspondences, both internal and external
• Internal memos and directives
• Interagency communications
• Electronic Surveillance records (including ELSUR)
• Complete investigation files, including interview transcripts

These records should cover aspects related to Rudy Giuliani’s interactions with or regarding Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, particularly focusing on issues of defamation or related legal matters.

Key String Search:Please employ search terms including “Rudy Giuliani”, “Ruby Freeman”, “Wandrea ‘Shaye’ Moss”, “defamation”, “2020 election misinformation”, “Electronic Surveillance”, “ELSUR”, “internal memo”, and “email communication” for a thorough and inclusive document retrieval.

Legal Citations for Compliance:In alignment with the principles set forth in Department of Justice v. Tax Analysts, 492 U.S. 136, 142 (1989), and NLRB v. Robbins Tire & Rubber Co., 437 U.S. 214, 242 (1978), an exhaustive search and explicit rationales for any document withholding or redaction under FOIA exemptions are expected.

Interagency Search Requirement:As stipulated by 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(3)(C), a detailed interagency search, including cross-references within the FBI, DOJ, and other relevant federal bodies, is requested.

Fee Considerations:Enclosed is a Fee Waiver request (Fee_Waiver_Letter.pdf), as the information is intended for public knowledge. Please inform me of any fees prior to processing.

Response Expectations in Case of Denial:Should there be any denial, in part or in full, a written justification with specific references to FOIA exemptions is required.

Enclosures:

Correspondence Tracking:Please assign a unique FOIA request number to this submission. All related correspondence will be systematically recorded.

Your prompt response within the 20-day statutory period as per FOIA provisions is anticipated.
