- Official redaction/classification report — compliance conclusions attributed to DOJ
The Federal Register published DOJ's February 14 report on August 27. DOJ said the only withheld categories were nonsegregable permitted material and privileged records, that it made no redaction or withholding for embarrassment, reputational harm or political sensitivity, and that it withheld nothing because of classification. Those are the department's compliance conclusions; the report does not adjudicate earlier independent findings, court disputes or any underlying allegation, and it cautions that a listed person's appearance in the files does not imply misconduct.
