CREW’s requests of the Criminal Division and the Office of Information Policy, on behalf of the offices of the Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General, and Associate Attorney General, also seeks documents related to Mr. Abramoff’s potential involvement with any other media productions.; FOIA Request: CREW: Department of Justice (DOJ): Regarding Jack Abramoff and the Casino Jack Documentary; Holder of Document: CREW; Producing Agency: Department of Justice (DOJ); Date Received: 1/06/11;
