Federal prosecutors handling Roger Stone’s case were ordered to turn over to a judge any unredacted sections of Mueller’s report relating to Stone that could help prepare his defense for their upcoming trial
But federal prosecutors who took over the Stone case last month upon the conclusion of the Mueller probe filed an opposition motion Friday arguing against turning over the special counsel’s unredacted report to the defense.
“The government is complying with its discovery obligations in this case, including its obligation to provide the defense with disclosable material that could be construed as exculpatory as well as information regarding the credibility of witnesses that the government intends to call at trial,” the lawyers from the U.S. attorney’s office for the District of Columbia wrote.
“Because disclosable information that may have been redacted from the public version of the Special Counsel’s report to the Attorney General is already being provided to the defendant in discovery, the defendant is not entitled to an unredacted copy of the report.”of legal bids now working their way through the courts dealing with the special counsel’s work.
