US court denies discovery request targeting Tinubu and DCI Group

The US District Court for the District of Columbia denied Aaron Greenspan’s request to obtain limited discovery from Nigerian President Bola Tinubu and DCI Group in litigation under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). In its October 30 ruling, the court found that evidence sought about alleged cyberattacks on Greenspan’s website was not sufficiently relevant to the dispute over records held by the FBI and DEA. The court also rejected Karl Von Batten’s request to file an amicus curiae brief, Greenspan’s related request for judicial notice, and Greenspan’s motion for summary judgment.
