Lawyer suing for Mueller’s media contacts: Produce documents now

Planned 'rolling production' will only allow 'dribbles of benign documents' to be released

A Washington watchdog lawyer suing to obtain access to special counsel Robert Mueller’s communications with the media is asking a court to order that the documents be made available now – not in “dribbles” over coming months or years.

Veteran courtroom fighter Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch has filed a response to government plans to roll out the documents – beginning months from now – in small releases.

“Defendants have regrettably done what Freedom Watch, Inc., and the undersigned counsel predicted,” Klayman told U.S. District Court in Washington. “In this regard, defendants cleverly want to drag out and slow roll production of documents, which by any stretch of the imagination cannot be exempt under FOIA, as they concern communications with the media and are likely to reveal grand jury leaks and other improper disclosure of information by the special counsel in its Russian collusion and related investigations.”
