Ordered by court to disclose his Russia contacts, Sessions releases blank sheet of paper

https://thinkprogress.org/jeff-sessions-blank-sheet-of-paper-russia-contacts-9f9050877e96

In response to a court order directing Attorney General Jeff Sessions to disclose the part of his security clearance form detailing his Russia contacts, the Department of Justice released a blank page of paper.

The Thursday morning “disclosure” comes in response to a lawsuit from an ethics watchdog group.

According to NPR, a “recently-launched ethics watchdog group called American Oversight filed a Freedom of Information Act request in March for sections of the Standard Form 86 [i.e., security clearance] relating to Sessions’ contacts ‘with any official of the Russian government.’” On June 12, a judge ordered the DOJ to comply with the request within 30 days.

As recently as Wednesday, the DOJ said it planned to comply with the court order. But the deadline came and went this week.
