Apple tells judge DOJ's bid to overturn discovery ruling 'fails at every level'
Apple files response opposing the DOJ's motion to reverse its July victory securing access to documents from 14 federal agencies.
What to know
- Apple secured a July ruling allowing it to seek documents from 14 federal agencies (CIA, FBI, NSA, State Department, and others) to prove those agencies chose its products for privacy—not because of anticompetitive practices.
- The DOJ filed a motion to reverse the ruling, claiming the judge applied the wrong legal standard and that the request imposes undue burden on the agencies.
- Apple's response flatly rejects the DOJ's arguments as improper re-litigation with no merit; Judge Linares will decide whether to uphold or reverse his original order.
“Apple's premise is that if it can show the federal government chose its products for their privacy features, that evidence could support its argument that the practices challenged by the DOJ have legitimate justifications rather than being anticompetitive.”
