GM Seeks to Block Disclosure of Bankruptcy Documents

The Wall Street Journal reports that General Motors has moved to intervene in a FOIA lawsuit brought by the Center for Auto Safety.  GM seeks the intervention so that it can assist the government in the claim that many of the documents that pertain to the GM bankruptcy at issue contain GM's confidential business information.  If the intervention is permitted, GM will back up the government's Exemption 4 withholdings of certain documents with its own declarations supporting the exemption claim.
