Special counsel Robert Mueller is pushing back against media organizations who want secret court filings unsealed in the his team's probe into possible coordination between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and Russia, Politico reported.
Mueller's prosecutors submitted a court filing Wednesday that shows the investigation continues to move forward, although lawyers for Trump have suggested in recent weeks that the investigation is winding down, according to Politico.
"The special counsel's investigation is not a closed matter, but an ongoing criminal investigation with multiple lines of non-public inquiry," prosecutors wrote in a brief submitted to U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson.
"Tthe investigation consists of multiple lines of inquiry within the overall scope of the Special Counsel's authority. Many aspects of the investigation are factually and legally interconnected: they involve overlapping courses of conduct, relationships, and events, and they rely on similar sources, methods, and techniques."
"The investigation is not complete and its details remain non-public," said the filing, Politico reported.
While Mueller's probe has been under way for more than a year, no search warrants, surveillance requests, and similar filings have been unsealed in the Mueller probe, Politico reported.
Mueller's team said Wednesday that unsealing materials would harm the investigation.
"Warrant materials reveal investigative sources and methods, preliminary factual and legal theories, and evidence that has already been gathered… the dates and volumes of warrants reveal an investigation's direction," prosecutors wrote, CNN reported.
However, Mueller's team said it would not oppose unsealing information on two heavily redacted search warrants in the cases against former Trump campaign adviser Paul Manafort, CNN noted.
