PORTLAND — The FBI wants a Vancouver man’s lawsuit thrown out after he sued to get back over $120,000 agents seized from him at Portland International Airport.
KOIN-TV reports in a Monday response to Steven Williams’ lawsuit, Assistant United States Attorney Kevin Danielson wrote that the FBI notified Williams in June 2018 that he had 35 days to contest the seizure or the money would be forfeited but that Williams didn’t file a claim until November.
