From Bloomberg: Federal Reserve Must Disclose Bank Bailout Records2008_1009_shutterstock_vault_dollar

The U.S. Court of Appeals in Manhattan ruled today that the Fed must release records of the unprecedented $2 trillion U.S. loan program … The ruling upholds a decision of a lower-court judge, who in August ordered that the information be released.

The opinion may not be the final word in the bid for the documents, which was launched by Bloomberg LP, the parent of Bloomberg News, with a November 2008 lawsuit. The Fed may seek a rehearing or appeal to the full appeals court and eventually petition the U.S. Supreme Court.
