A federal judge on Nov. 26 issued a preliminary injunction ordering two federal agencies to begin releasing documents related to the Trump administration’s dealings with Ukraine by Dec. 12, saying the records were of public interest.

The documents were sought under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by the Center for Public Integrity (CPI), a nonprofit news organization.
