Subject: Közérdekűadat igénylés - Property Development Projects of
President Donald J. Trump

 

I submit the following data request pursuant to Section 28 (1) of Act CXII
of 2011 on the Right to Informational Self-Determination and Freedom of
Information (hereinafter referred to as the Information Act).

 

I am contacting you on behalf of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in
Washington (CREW), a United States based civil society organization
committed to building an ethical, transparent, and accountable government.
CREW uses cutting-edge research, groundbreaking litigation, and innovative
policy proposals to advance our mission. As part of this effort, CREW
frequently files freedom of information act requests in the United States
and uses that information to inform our litigation and produce in-depth
research analyses, all of which can be found on our website
([2]www.citizensforethics.org).

 

Specifically, CREW requests:

 

1. Any and all documents, payments, planning materials, communications or
other materials related to the development of a Trump property in Budapest
or any reference including but not limited to the following companies; a.
The Trump Organization, b. DT Marks Budapest LLC, c. DT Marks Budapest
Member Corp.

2. Any and all materials related to or referencing Jared Kushner and the
development of the “Grand Budapest” project

 

According to Section 30 (2) of the Information Act, I request that you
send me the copies and other requested data electronically to the sender's
e-mail address. If the requested data cannot be sent by e-mail for any
reason, I request that you upload them to the website
kimittud.atlatszo.hu. Please search for responsive records regardless of
format, medium, or physical characteristics. We seek records of any kind,
including paper records, electronic records, audiotapes, videotapes,
photographs, data, and graphical material.

 

If the data controller for the contents of this request is not the
Ministry of Transportation and Investment, I request the appropriate data
controller to be identified. Our request includes without limitation all
correspondence, letters, emails, text messages, facsimiles, telephone
messages, voice mail messages, and transcripts, notes, or minutes of any
meetings, telephone conversations, or discussions. Our request also
includes any attachments to emails and other records, and anyone who was
cc’ed or bcc’ed on any emails.

 

Pursuant to Section 29 (3) and (5) of the Information Act, compensation
for the fulfillment of my data request may only be determined if the
fulfillment of the data request involves a disproportionate use of the
workforce resources necessary for the performance of the basic activities
of the body performing public tasks. In such a case, the data controller
is entitled to determine the cost of the workforce expenditure related to
the fulfillment of the data request as compensation. Please inform me in
advance electronically if you would determine compensation for the
requested copies of documents. In this case, I ask that you attach a list
of documents to the information, indicating the page number for each
document, the amount of the workforce expenditure related to the
fulfillment of the data request and its hourly rate.

 

Please, if you consider only part of the requested data to be accessible,
send it to me together with the partial refusal of the data request,
pursuant to Section 30 (1) of the Privacy Act. Please note that, according
to the position of the National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom
of Information NAIH/2015/4710/2/V., this data request cannot be refused
under Section 29 (1b) of the Privacy Act, as it contains the name and
contact details of the data requester. According to the NAIH position, the
data controller cannot request the provision of any further data, nor is
it entitled to verify the identity.

 

CREW intends to analyze the information responsive to this request and to
share its analysis with the public through reports, press releases, or
other means. In addition, CREW will disseminate any documents it acquires
from this request to the public through its website,
[3]www.citizensforethics.org. The release of information obtained through
this request is not in CREW’s financial interest. We thank you in advance
for your assistance with this request. If you have any questions about
this request or foresee any problems in fully releasing the requested
records, please email me at [4][email cím] and
[5][email cím] or call me at +1 (202) 408-5565.

 

Üdvözlettel:

 

Isabel Rogers
