Hello,
Do you have any updates on this request?
From: Department of Justice, Office of the Attorney General
Mason Turner:
Good evening, excuse my delayed response on this inquiry as I was in and out of the office due to personal matters. As an initial matter, if there is another avenue you prefer to communicate, please let me know.
Regarding your request subject, I am checking if you would be able to provide some clarification. Is there a date range for the records, specific search topic pertaining to Julian Assange, or an Office you are seeking to be searched? Currently, your request with this Office is quite broad and I am trying to figure out if there are any specifics to help in our searching since the more offices searched and wide date range the longer it takes for this Office to complete searching and processing of a request.
Please be advised, the Department of Justice (DOJ) is decentralized in the administration of the FOIA. OIP processes FOIA/Privacy requests on behalf of itself along with the Offices of the Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General, Associate Attorney General, Legal Policy, Legislative Affairs, and Public Affairs. A listing of all other DOJ component FOIA Offices, including their contact information, is found online at: https://www.justice.v/oip/find-foia-contact-doj/list<https://www.justice.gov/oip/find-foia-contact-doj/list> or www.foia.gov<http://www.foia.gov>.
Additionally, If you are no longer interested in emails related to the topic of this FOIA request, it would significantly facilitate our ability to provide a response as we could limit our search to the Department Executive Secretariat, which maintains official correspondence on behalf of the Offices of the Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General, and Associate Attorney General.
Please review your request and get back to me with your response and we will work with you on this matter.
Thank you,
Valeree Villanueva

Mason Turner:
Good afternoon, I appreciate your prompt response below. This email serves as confirmation that you are no longer seeking email communications and this Office will limit our search to the Department Executive Secretariat, which maintains official correspondence on behalf of the Offices of the Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General, and Associate Attorney General. Please advise if my statement is correct.
Lastly, would you be able to provide a date range and/or topic for this request? Please be advised you are not required to do so; however, providing such information will help us focus our search. Any questions or concerns, please let me know.
Thank you,
