Group asks court to pull the curtain from mystery grand jury case linked to Mueller:

"A nonprofit group that represents journalists in legal matters has filed a motion asking a federal appeals court to bring to light filings in a mystery grand jury subpoena case that is thought to be tied to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian election interference.

 

In the 33-page filing in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press argues that the “public’s right of access” outweighs both the federal government and the parties involved have said is cause to keep the filings and proceeds sealed.

 

"The public has a First Amendment and common law right to review documents filed in appellate courts, and to know what arguments are being made to those courts,” said Katie Townsend, legal director for RCFP, in a statement Wednesday.

 

The nonprofit organization asks that the court’s proceedings and records be released, even if that means in redacted format."
