Judicial Watch sued the Secret Service under the Freedom of Information Act for records that could shed light on what it knew about pro-Palestine Code Pink protesters who crashed President Trump’s dinner with administration officials Sept. 9 at Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab restaurant.The lawsuit seeks internal emails and texts among officials in the Presidential Protective Division “regarding the presence of Code Pink protestors” at the restaurant, and emails between Secret Service officials and any email account with Code Pink’s domain, after the agency allegedly ignored Judicial Watch’s Sept. 10 FOIA request.
“Both the Secret Service and the FBI have tarnished records when it comes to protecting President Donald Trump,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said.
Judicial Watch noted its prior FOIA lawsuits for records related to alleged would-be Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks, security for the Trump rally where Crooks allegedly struck, and “potential increased protective services to Trump’s security detail” before the attempted assassination at the rally.
