In April, FedScoop filed a series of public records requests with the NLRB for documents related to the events outlined in the disclosure. Those requests were denied in full Wednesday, based on an exemption that allows agencies to withhold records that are “included in an open investigatory file where disclosure could reasonably be expected to interfere with law enforcement proceedings.”
According to the rejection letter, the NLRB’s Office of the Chief Information Officer “confirmed that the Agency has an active, ongoing investigation into the issues” discussed in both the whistleblower disclosure and the NPR article.
It is not clear — and the NLRB did not clarify — if the investigation being conducted by the OIG is the same or separate from the investigation cited in the letter.
