Though the 50-year-old Freedom of Information Act states that the federal government can’t withhold data from the public merely because it is embarrassing, in a 2021 lawsuit still pending where attorney Dan Novack sued for Epstein records, the FBI rattled off a long list of information it says it has but cannot disclose. That includes:

“Names, Identifying Data and/or Information Provided by Individuals Under an Implied Assurance of Confidentiality”

“Names, Identifying Data and/or Information Provided by Individuals Under an Express Assurance of Confidentiality”

“Names and/or Identifying Information of Third Parties who Provided Information”

“Names and/or Identifying Information of Third Parties of Investigative Interest”

“Names and/or Identifying Information of FBI Special Agents”

“Foreign Government Agency Information Under Implied Confidentiality”

“Dates/Types of Investigations”

“Collection/Analysis of Information”

“Names and/or Identifying Information of Non-FBI Federal Government Personnel

“Name and/or Identifying Information of Local Government Personnel”

“Information Regarding Targets, Dates, and Scope of Surveillance”
