SUPREME COURT RULES AGAINST FORMER FBI DIRECTOR
LOUIS FREEH
Judicial Watch Wins Victory on
Behalf of Client Notra Trulock
Case to Proceed
to Discovery
(Washington, DC) Judicial
Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes
government corruption and abuse, said today that the United States Supreme
Court rejected former FBI Director Louis Freeh’s claim of immunity in a
lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch on behalf of its client Notra Trulock.
Mr. Trulock is the former Director of Intelligence for the
Department of Energy who “blew the whistle” on Communist Chinese espionage
activity at U.S. nuclear laboratories. After leaving government service,
Mr. Trulock wrote an article in a July 2000 edition of the magazine
National Review, which was critical of the Clinton administration,
Louis Freeh, the FBI, and other federal law enforcement agencies for
repeatedly ignoring his warnings about espionage. Later that month, FBI
agents unlawfully searched Mr. Trulock’s home computer files and
confiscated his computer hard drive. Mr. Trulock's suit sets forth the
violation of his First Amendment free-speech rights because the actions of
Freeh and other FBI officials were conducted in retaliation for the
magazine article.
As part of the FBI’s campaign of harassment and
intimidation, officials kept Mr. Trulock's computer hard drive for two
years. Mr. Trulock’s private, personal records were stored on the hard
drive, including research about a genetic disorder from which his son
suffers, as well as his personal financial information.
“The
Supreme Court has sent a clear signal to all senior law enforcement
officers and federal officials: ‘You are not above the law!,” and that
message is consistent with our motto at Judicial Watch. We look forward to
taking Mr. Freeh’s deposition and uncovering the facts that will bring
justice for the damages and suffering Mr. Trulock has experienced,” stated
Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry
Klayman.
