FOIA News: State Dep't reportedly suspends its FOIA operations

According to a tweet from Buzzfeed reporter Jason Leopold, the State Department has suspended its FOIA operations due to COVID, resulting in requests by DOJ to delay litigation proceedings. The State Department’s FOIA web page, however, does not indicate that its FOIA operations are closed -- at least not as of the time of this post (1:55pm) -- and it appears as if requests can still be submitted electronically.
