Associated Press reported this. Looks like many citizens and reporters have been frustrated by this administration not following the law and handing over information that people have a right to know. Hell, our enemies probably had access to sensitive information, thanks to Hillary's total disregard for security in the handling of emails. We have trouble finding out info that should be a matter of public record. Only after some lawsuits did the administration manage to find info that was being requested. It's a deliberate attempt to keep things hidden from the public. They hate it when their lies are exposed.
"The Obama administration – which pledged to be the "most transparent in history" – has turned the Freedom of Information Act into the Freedom to Get Nothing Act. The Associated Press reported on its own investigation of 100 government agencies in 2015:
The Obama administration set a record for the number of times its federal employees told disappointed citizens, journalists and others that despite searching they couldn't find a single page requested under the Freedom of Information Act, according to a new Associated Press analysis of government data.
In more than one in six cases, or 129,825 times, government searchers said they came up empty-handed last year. Such cases contributed to an alarming measurement: People who asked for records under the law received censored files or nothing in 77 percent of requests, also a record. In the first full year after President Barack Obama's election, that figure was only 65 percent of cases."
