New whistleblower complaint: The Trump admin pushed the FBI to investigate Los Angeles protesters in violation of their constitutional rights and the bureau's policies, a former FBI supervisor alleges in a new whistleblower complaint.

FBI whistleblower says White House pushed unconstitutional probe of protesters
The former analyst says supervisors were told not to put things in writing, so many of the directives came in face-to-face meetings.

NEW: We @lawfaremedia.org sued Marco Rubio over the State Department’s failure to publish certain international agreements, as required by the Case Act. Yesterday, Judge Boasberg denied the government’s motion to dismiss our suit. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Case 1:26-CV-00798-JEB Document 18
Filed 08/31/26
Page 1 of 32
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
THE LAWFARE INSTITUTE,
Plaintiff, v.
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF STATE, et al.,
Defendants.
Civil Action No. 26-798 (JEB)
MEMORANDUM OPINION
In an effort to open the curtains concealing certain international agreements formed by the Executive, Congress enacted the Case-Zablocki Act in 1972. The Act requires the Secretary of State to post the text of some of those agreements on a public website within a specified time.
The Lawfare Institute, a media organization that reports on national-security issues, believes that
State has largely flouted that requirement, failing to post the text of numerous international
agreements formed during the current Administration. So Lawfare brought this suit, seeking
relief under the Administrative Procedure Act for agency action that is contrary to law and has
been unreasonably delayed, as well as a writ of mandamus to compel the Department of State
and Secretary Marco Rubio (jointly referred to as Defendant) to comply with their Case Act
obligations.
State now moves to dismiss, deploying both jurisdictional and merits arguments. It
contends that Lawfare lacks standing to pursue its claims because it does not plausibly allege a
legally cognizable injury, let alone one that could be redressed by a court order against the Department. On the merits, State asserts that Lawfare's contrary-to-law claim is not subject to
Case 1:26-CV-00798-JEB Document 18
Filed 08/31/26
Page 2 of 32
judicial review because Plaintiff has not plausibly alleged final agency action. Defendant also
argues that Plaintiff has not sufficiently stated a claim upon which relief can be granted for cach
count. Although some of the analysis is nuanced, the Court holds that State does not prevail on
the lion's share of its positions and thus will deny the Motion in the main.
