| Description | A federal judge granted summary judgment to a journalist who sought a 37-year-old FBI document the reporter believes will shed light on Ronald Reagan's work as an FBI informant, and "about the FBI's operations with respect to aiding Reagan's political career."
"Plaintiff claims that Reagan was a FBI informant and that the FBI played an integral role in supporting Reagan's political career," U.S. District Judge Edward Chen, in San Francisco, wrote in granting summary judgment to Seth Rosenfeld, who sued the Department of Justice.
"Plaintiff seeks information about the FBI's operations with respect to aiding Reagan's political career, and how such operations affected government policy and the exercise of First Amendment rights," Chen added.

Rosenfeld sued the Justice Department after it denied his request for the document Ronald Reagan 1539-1541, a 3-page document dated Jan. 9, 1975.
"The document is titled 'Ronald Wilson Reagan, Special Inquiry, Buded Past' and concerns the traffic violations and arrests of a party whose name is redacted. The redacted information includes the third party's name and birth date, the dates and docket numbers of the violations and arrests, and the amount of the fines," Chen wrote. |
