After Narrowing to Russia-Gate, the File Remained the Same: FBI Discloses INTELPRODS Repository and 39 Withheld Pages
The June 20, 2026 FOIA request arises from records released in Bradley Foerster v. U.S. Department of Justice, No. 1:25-cv-03277-CJN. The litigation concerns Dr. Foerster's own FBI file. During processing of the request, Dr. Foerster narrowed the scope of the request to records concerning the Russia-Gate disclosures and related correspondence. Following that clarification, the FBI advised that the volume of responsive records remained essentially unchanged, indicating that the overwhelming majority of the file remained responsive to the narrowed request.
On June 16, 2026, the FBI released the second tranche of records, including a July 1, 2019 document opening FBI subfile 46H-DE-2595857-INTELPRODS as a repository for intelligence reports and a deleted page information sheet reflecting thirty-nine associated pages withheld in full.
On June 20, 2026, a Freedom of Information Act request was submitted seeking records concerning the creation, purpose, contents, administration, and disposition of the INTELPRODS repository. Rather than seeking the intelligence reports themselves, the request seeks records sufficient to identify why the repository was created, who authorized its creation, what intelligence reports were maintained within it, the offices associated with those reports, and what ultimately became of the repository.
