November 10, 2026 Joint Status Report — FBI Expects to Complete Russia-Gate FOIA Production by November 16

On November 10, 2026, the parties in Foerster v. Department of Justice, No. 1:25-cv-03277-CJN (D.D.C.), filed a Joint Status Report (ECF No. 32) updating the Court on the FBI's production of records responsive to Dr. Bradley Foerster's January 9, 2023 Freedom of Information Act request concerning the Russia-Gate matter.

The FBI's June 15, 2026 release letter, reproduced in the July 2026 litigation update , reported that certain responsive records were undergoing consultation with another government agency.

The subsequent September 11, 2026 Joint Status Report documented that the FBI had processed 520 pages of records, together with responsive audio, while 16 pages remained in consultation with another entity not party to the litigation.

In the November 10 filing, the FBI reported that the consultation process was nearly complete and stated that the remaining 16 pages would be produced on or before November 16, 2026. The FBI indicated that this would constitute its final production in the case.

Following receipt of the remaining records, Dr. Foerster will review the FBI's production, including all prior releases, in aggregate before determining whether any issues remain for resolution.

The parties proposed filing another Joint Status Report on or before January 11, 2027.
