FBI, DEA give update on investigation into Tinubu’s alleged drug case

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) have said that their searches for investigative records on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu are still ongoing.

They hope to complete the process in 90 days and submit a joint report on or before July 31.

It was anticipated that the agencies would release the records today, May 2, 2025. as ordered.

A United States District Court for the District of Columbia ordered both agencies to release the records following a Freedom of Information (FoI) request by an American, Aaron Greenspan.

Judge Beryl Howell on April 8 ordered the FBI and DEA to release documents connected to a 1990s investigation of a drug case that allegedly involved President Tinubu and others.

The judge rejected the agencies’ use of “Glomar response”—a legal provision allowing them to neither confirm nor deny the existence of certain records.

The U.S. and Ukraine have signed a new agreement granting Washington access to Ukraine’s rare earth minerals and energy resources. ⁠
⁠
The deal, named the United States-Ukraine Reinvestment Fund, is framed as a joint investment initiative and is expected to support Ukraine’s reconstruction while offering the U.S. compensation for its military assistance. ⁠
⁠
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the agreement reflects “a peace process centered on a free, sovereign, and prosperous Ukraine,” and President Donald Trump called the terms a safeguard against the U.S. “looking foolish” by not being repaid.⁠
⁠
