A Russian company charged with election meddling through social media argued that U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller improperly seeks to limit its access to pretrial evidence, saying that prosecutors were invoking “fake law” to make their case.
Concord Management and Consulting LLC, a company linked to a longtime associate of Russian President Vladimir Putin, used a legal filing on Thursday to counter Mueller’s claims that handing over sensitive evidence in the case would undermine U.S. law enforcement and national security investigations. A judge will hold a hearing Friday on the matter.
