Comments:
This is a request on behalf of my client Jeff Stein under the Freedom of
Information Act ("FOIA"), 5 U.S.C. A� 552, et seq., for copies of all
records, including emails and other forms of electronic communication,
about national security briefings given or to be given to Donald Trump
due to his Presidential candidacy. You may exclude the substance of the
briefings and focus only on records about logistics, security concerns,
and similar issues. To clarify, Mr. Stein has no interest in learning
what Mr. Trump is briefed about; he is only interested in the process,
and he is specifically interested in records discussing any security
concerns.
