Prosecutors with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office and the U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, DC filed a reply to a matter involving a Russian troll farm Thursday and indicated they wanted to keep the documents under seal because they relate to an ongoing grand jury probe.
The lawyers told a judge they want to reply under seal to an ongoing court dispute with a Russian company because their response concerns a "matter occurring before the grand jury."
Mueller's office last February indicted [13] Russian individuals and three Russian companies accused in a social media effort to sway American public opinion ahead of the election.
