From Politiken:
As Politiken previously reported, the order to hand over the politically sensitive material came directly from the U.S. Department of State in Washington. The request follows a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from the highly conservative American organization Judicial Watch.
The handed-over material was to be sent to the U.S. Department of State in Washington, which would then pass it on to Judicial Watch after processing it according to U.S. FOIA regulations.
The order included not only internal working documents but also anything employees might have written in text messages, chat messages, and social media posts—even from their private accounts on platforms like WhatsApp. According to the U.S. Department of State, the order was justified by a FOIA request the department had received.
