Vice News has announced that it is suing the FBI in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit over documents surrounding the 2016 Clinton and Trump campaigns.

Vice News said it filed the joint lawsuit Tuesday morning with Ryan Shapiro, a doctoral candidate at MIT, after filing more than 50 FOIA requests with the FBI for information it did not disclose.

Vice's official complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colombia says it "seeks public disclosure of specified government records to make sense of the pivotal role of the FBI, as well as of other agencies, perhaps in the most controversial presidential election in modern U.S. history."

Vice says it asked for records on: internal discontent at the FBI over the investigations into Hillary Clinton; leaks of information from the FBI to media outlets; FBI communication with Breitbart News and its former chairman, Steve Bannon, now top adviser to President-elect Donald Trump; and information on white nationalist Richard Spencer and the "alt-right." Other information requested included records on Trump's former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, Fox News, Sean Hannity, Rudy Giuliani and Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone.
