US Court Allows Private Review of FBI Records Sought in Tinubu FOIA Case
A US federal court has reportedly allowed the FBI to submit disputed records for private judicial review in a Freedom of Information Act case involving allegations linked to President Bola Tinubu. A Washington-based law firm said Judge Beryl Howell granted the request on August 21. The court reportedly gave the FBI, DEA, DOJ and Tinubu until August 28, 2026, to file any opposition to releasing the records. The firm said the private review, known as an in-camera review, would allow the judge to assess whether the material should remain confidential. However, the reported order had not yet appeared on the public court docket, and the claim is based on the firm's social-media update. The allegations remain unproven, and the case concerns efforts to obtain records under US freedom-of-information laws.
