Privacy
Whether Exemption 6 of the Freedom of Information Act requires disclosure of a former government employee's termination decision when the employee has publicly criticized the government in their personal capacity
QUESTION PRESENTED Where an Assistant United States Attorney was terminated for misconduct and has continued to cite his former government service in public letters critical of the current President and United State Attorney General, does Exemption 6 of Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(6) require disclosure of the final agency termination decision withheld below because such disclosure is not “a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy”?
