Judicial Watch seeks emails, texts, instant chats between Kerry and State Department officials and/or Kerry meetings with Iranian officials.
Current Secretary of State Mike Pompeo termed Kerry's meeting with "The world's largest state-sponsor of terror" "Unseemly and unprecedented" and "Beyond inappropriate."
Kerry was reported to have quietly lobbied members of Congress, including then-Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, and placed dozens of phone calls just before the U.S. withdrawal.
"John Kerry wasn't elected president, so he should avoid colluding with Iran and other foreign government to undermine U.S. foreign policy," said Judicial Watch President Fitton.
"Our lawsuit is meant to discover not only what Kerry was up to but also to unearth who inside the Deep State Trump 'resistance' were coordinating with Kerry's clandestine efforts to undermine the President Trump's Iran policy."
In another Iran-related FOIA lawsuit, on May 19, 2017, Judicial Watch filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia reportedly said, "Paying Iran behind our backs, incentivizing further kidnappings of Americans while providing funds for terrorism, is as ignorant as it is wrong."
The State Department, just two weeks after an August 4 press conference in which President Barack Obama said the payment was not a "Ransom," confirmed that the U.S. handed over the cash only after Iran released the hostages.
