US judge gives FBI and Tinubu till Aug 28 deadlines to finalize

Update: We have now been informed that @uscourts Judge Howell this morning granted the @FBI permission to provide the court with the documents in private and has given the @FBI, @DEAHQ, @TheJusticeDept, and Nigerian President Bola Tinubu (@officialABAT) until August 28, 2026 (“and no later”), to file their opposition to the release of Tinubu’s alleged drug-trafficking records. I stress the judge’s “no later” comment because the court has reached its limit and is making it clear that the FBI must now convince the court why the documents are too sensitive to be released.

Unlike the @JoeBiden @TheJusticeDept (DOJ), where the DOJ and FBI blocked, stonewalled, and refused to admit they had any sensitive drug-trafficking-related documents on President #Tinubu, the DOJ and FBI under President @realDonaldTrump are moving fast and being transparent as they move through the process. The #FBI has now admitted that it has highly sensitive drug-trafficking-related information about President #Tinubu. By admitting this, we now know Tinubu’s claim that the case was simply about civil forfeiture is untrue. The FBI does not deem civil cases highly sensitive and seeks to present the evidence to the judge in private. This is usually done in high-level drug cases where the goal is to protect the agency’s dealings with the criminal informant. This ties into the allegation that President #Tinubu ratted out his alleged co-drug traffickers in exchange for immunity from prosecution.

The #FBI admitting in court that it has sensitive information on President #Tinubu and requiring the court to review the documents privately before any court order ordering their release is given aligns with what our friend in the Trump Administration has told us: We will follow the law, but we do not protect drug traffickers. The FBI is following standard procedures for protecting informants, but is also openly communicating that President #Tinubu’s claim of innocence is far from the truth. We thank President Trump and the White House senior staff for moving this case forward after three years of stalling and for being fully transparent, unlike the Biden DOJ, which did not acknowledge it had sensitive information on Tinubu.
