SALT LAKE CITY — A judge is being asked to decide whether the FBI has complied with federal freedom-of-information laws as part of a Utah attorney’s inquiry into the 1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building.

Jesse Trentadue sued the FBI and the CIA for release of videotapes and records from the fatal bombing at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal building under the Freedom of Information Act in 2008, two years after he first sought the information.

In papers filed in U.S. District Court, Trentadue contends the FBI’s efforts to locate the information he wants have been inadequate, and he argues that the bureau has failed to meet the requirements of the law that directs the release of government records.

A hearing is set for Wednesday in Salt Lake City before U.S. District Judge Clark Waddoups.
