The presiding judge, Beryl Howell, issued the order earlier this month, declaring that the continued withholding of the requested records is “neither logical nor plausible.”
Multiple U.S. government agencies, including the FBI and State Department, are preparing to release long-sealed investigation documents on Friday relating to Nigerian President Bola Tinubu’s alleged 1990s drug case.

Alongside the FBI and State Department, other agencies ordered to comply include the DEA, IRS, CIA, and U.S. Attorneys’ Offices.
