FOIA Request (April 21, 2026): Administrative Identification of Audio Media in FBI File (FOIPA 1580912-001, Russia-Gate Context) — Dr. Bradley Foerster
The FBI has identified approximately five minutes of audio.
FOIA-produced records from the Ann Arbor Police Department and the University of Michigan reflect two short recordings attributed to “Nick,” approximately five minutes in duration.
The recordings document “Nick’s” extortion allegations against Dr. Bradley Foerster and Dr. Myria Petrou.
This post documents a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request submitted on April 21, 2026, to the Federal Bureau of Investigation seeking administrative identification of audio media previously acknowledged in FOIPA Request No. 1580912-001.
FOIA-produced records from the Ann Arbor Police Department and the University of Michigan reflect that these recordings are preserved within institutional records.
The FBI has stated that it located “approximately 5 minutes of audio media potentially responsive” to the request.
No record identifies whether the FBI audio corresponds to the two “Nick” recordings documenting extortion allegations against Dr. Bradley Foerster and Dr. Myria Petrou in Ann Arbor Police Department and University of Michigan materials.
The request seeks only:
- number of recordings
- dates
- originating source
- originating agency
- file labels or indexing descriptors
- whether transmitted to or from the Ann Arbor Police Department or HHS-OIG
No investigative or substantive content is requested.
The request is limited to existing administrative data fields and does not require processing of the underlying investigative file.
