A federal court in the United States has dismissed multiple requests filed by Aaron Greenspan in an ongoing Freedom of Information Act lawsuit involving federal law enforcement agencies.
On October 30, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled against Greenspan's attempt to secure evidence from President Bola Tinubu and DCI Group. The court determined that the proposed discovery regarding alleged cyberattacks on Greenspan's website lacked sufficient relevance to the core FOIA dispute involving the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
In the same ruling, the court declined a request from Karl Von Batten to submit an amicus curiae brief, noting that he is not a party to the lawsuit. Furthermore, the judge denied Greenspan's motions for judicial notice and summary judgment.
Legal counsel following the case noted that the decision reinforces the legal boundaries of Freedom of Information Act proceedings. Attorneys Christopher W. Carmichael and Oluwole Afolabi both confirmed the outcomes, emphasizing that such lawsuits cannot be expanded to pursue matters outside the specific legal questions presented to the court.
The underlying FOIA litigation concerning the FBI and DEA remains active as the legal process continues.
