Todd Blanche sworn declaration: “I am the Deputy Attorney General of the United States. I am submitting this Declaration in response to the Court's March 20, 2025 Order. On March 20, 2025, the Government submitted a declaration from Robert L. Cerna Il, which stated: "I understand that Cabinet Secretaries are currently actively considering whether to invoke the state secrets privilege over the other facts requested by the Court's order. Doing so is a serious matter that requires careful consideration of national security & foreign relations, & it cannot properly be undertaken in just 24 hours." I attest to the accuracy of those statements based on personal knowledge of the events described by Mr. Cerna, including my direct involvement in ongoing Cabinet-level discussions regarding invocation of the state-secrets privilege. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true & correct.”
