Re-Notice to President Trump: DOJ Confirms 500+ Page FBI Russia-Gate File and Expanding FOIA Record
This post documents a formal re-notice submitted to President Donald Trump concerning Russia-Gate-related evidence, ongoing federal FOIA litigation, and the confirmed existence of a 500+ page FBI file.
This communication follows prior submissions to the White House, including an initial notice later entered as an exhibit in federal FOIA litigation, a December 2025 response that did not substantively address the record, and a February 2026 follow-up identifying a key individual with direct knowledge of the origin of the Russia-Gate allegations.
DOJ Confirms 500+ Page FBI File
In a March 2026 Joint Status Report filed in federal court, the U.S. Department of Justice confirmed the existence of a 500+ page FBI file directly related to this matter. The government indicated that the file — which may include recordings and investigative materials — is expected to be released on or before May 4, 2026.
University of Michigan FOIA – Withheld Russia-Gate Memoranda

The University, under President Domenico Grasso, has declined to release Russia-Gate-related memoranda that reference them, further underscoring the existence of institutional records connected to these claims.
