Attorneys in a case related to alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election agree on complex system for handling 'sensitive' discovery information, designed to ensure the government’s best-kept secrets stay far from the Kremlin ahead of 2020.
After more than a year of arguing, prosecutors and defense attorneys in a court case related to alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election have agreed on a complex system for handling"sensitive" discovery information, designed to ensure the government’s best-kept secrets stay far from the Kremlin as the 2020 election looms.
"That information, used by a foreign adversary, could be used to avoid detection in the future," U.S. Attorney Jonathan Kravis told the court in March, echoing concerns national security and legal experts shared with ABC News in October. If approved, those people would still have to physically come to the U.S. to view the material. Defense attorneys for Concord have previously said there’s little chance company officers, some of whom like Prigozhin are co-defendants in the case, would travel to the U.S. for fear of arrest upon arrival.
The sensitive information, Wednesday’s filing says, includes witness statements, information that could identify potential witnesses, information related to ongoing investigations and information"related to sensitive law enforcement or intelligence collection techniques." Concord is the only one of three Russian business entities and 13 Russian individuals charged in the case to respond in court. U.S. law allows for a corporate defendant to fight a court case without any individual from the corporation physically being in court – and, in this case, without putting themselves in danger of being arrested.
