A federal judge upheld the Justice Department’s redactions in thousands of pages of witness interviews from Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation as part of ongoing litigation for access to information from the special counsel inquiry.

U.S. District Court Judge Reggie Walton, who has critiqued Attorney General William Barr for his handling of the Mueller report in the past, rejected arguments brought by BuzzFeed and CNN, ruling that the Justice Department could continue blacking out sections from FBI interview notes, known as “302s,” from hundreds of Mueller witness interviews. He cited attorney work product privilege and presidential communications privilege exemptions under the Freedom of Information Act. The Justice Department is currently making public roughly 500 pages of witness interviews per month, but they are often heavily redacted.
