Mueller says that his files were leaked to Russia, which used them for a "misinformation campaign".

A pro-Russian Twitter account somehow had access to non-public evidence collected by special advocate Robert Mueller and tweeted altered versions of these records as part of a " campaign of disinformation, "Mueller said on Wednesday.

The allegation was brought by Mueller's team to a new court Wednesday in the case against Concord Management and Consulting, a Russian company owned by Yevgeny Prigozhin, a billionaire friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Concord Management helped fund a known Russian troll farm, Internet Research Agency.

According to Mueller, "some non-sensitive evidence" presented by federal prosecutors to the defense team was "changed" and put online "as part of a misinformation campaign aimed at (apparently) to discredit ongoing investigations into Russian interferences in the US political system. "Mueller did not describe how the information had been tampered with.

According to the court record, on October 22, 2018, a newly created Twitter account, @HackingRedstone, said: "We have access to the probe database of special advocate Mueller because we have hacked the Russian server with information in Russian troll case Concord LLC against Mueller.You can view all the files that Mueller had about the collusion between the IRA and Russia.Good reading! "

The tweet linked to a Web page located on an offline file sharing portal containing files with According to the FBI, about 1,000 of the 300,000 files uploaded to Concord Management have been sent to Concord Management, the FBI said.

The FBI found "no evidence" that the federal government servers or Mueller's servers "were victims of a computer intrusion." However, it was not clear how information about the file structure became public.

"The fact that the file f The names and structure of older folders on the web page significantly match the non-public names and file structure of the documents produced during the discovery, and the fact that more 1,000 files on the web page correspond to those produced during the discovery, indicating that the person who created the web page had access to at least some of the non-sensitive discovery produced by the government in this case " said the file.

According to a footnote, the files contain images of Facebook's political memes and other social media accounts that, as alleged by the indictment against Concord, have been posted and republished online by the Russian IRA troll agency. According to Mueller, they were produced to render the defense insensitive to defense, but many images are "presumably still available elsewhere on the Internet".

Mueller said on Wednesday that Concord Management's defense team had declared on Oct. 23, 2018 that she had received media inquiries stating that they had been offered "pirated discovery documents" from our case "and that the defense had concluded that it was a" scam "peddling information from a computer hacking Concord in 2014.

But l & rsquo; Mueller team said that this was not possible. and that "

Wednesday's filing by Mueller in response to Concord Management's request that the A Special Advocate transmit "sensitive" information so that it can be reviewed by company officials and employees in Russia at the time the Defense prepares for trial.

Mueller The police team refused and stated that it was "unreasonably risky to compromise US interests in national security."

In June 2018, the court ordered that the documents described as "sensitive" by the government could be kept only in accordance with a specific US law, and not be "disclosed, transported or transmitted" outside the United States. United for reasons of "national security, privacy and law enforcement."

Concord Management was one of three Russian companies and 13 Mueller Russians indicted in February. Concord Management and IRA own Concord Catering, which is headed by Prigozhin – nicknamed "the leader of Putin".

The three men were indicted by Mueller, and none of the owners of the company, nor any of the Russians, are in the care of the United States. It is unlikely that they will ever be.

Meanwhile, Twitter has suspended the @HackingRedstone account for violating the rules.
