Buzzfeed, Inc. v. DOJ (2nd Cir.) (summary order) -- affirming district court’s decision that DOJ’s Inspector General properly relied on Exemption 7(C) to withhold the identity of a former senior employee from a report concerning that employee’s misconduct; noting that the employee’s rank, seriousness of wrongdoing, and absence of alternative access to the information favored disclosure, but agreeing with district court that disclosure would “do little to advance the public interest identified by [plaintiff]” and that disclosure would impact the privacy of victims, witnesses, and other third parties.
