Federal judge ordered the DOJ to release a list of all the documents they withheld in the Fast and Furious investigation in which executive privilege was claimed. This comes from a FOIA suit by Judicial Watch.
A Vaughn index must: (1) identify each document withheld; (2) state the
statutory exemption claimed; and (3) explain how disclosure would damage
the interests protected by the claimed exemption." In ordering the DOJ
to provide Judicial Watch the Vaughn index, the Court ruled, "In this
circuit, when an agency is withholding documents under exemption claims,
courts require that the agency provide a Vaughn index so that the FOIA
requester ? at a distinct informational disadvantage ? may test the
agency's claims."
