34:29Now PlayingWhen Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on the investigation into Russian election interference finally landed, many key passages were redacted from public view. So reporter Jason Leopold and First Amendment lawyer Matt Topic began a running battle with government lawyers to reveal the rest. Featuring government documents read by comedian Kyle Kinane.
How did Russian pranksters trick a top government official? What happens to documents flushed down White House toilets? The answers exist. The trick is getting the government to disclose them.
By law, nearly every move federal agencies make—every email, every memo, every receipt—belongs to the public. The key to gaining access is the Freedom of Information Act. It’s the tool that forces the government to open its files…though rarely without a fight.
