Special counsel John Durham on Tuesday filed court papers saying that the FBI and U.S. intelligence are slowly producing documents related to his case againstĀ Igor Danchenko, who prosecutors say lied to investigators about how he obtained information that later appeared in the controversial and discredited Steele dossier that was used against former President Donald Trump.
Durham asked U.S. District Judge Anthony Trenga (pdf) to set a new deadline for June 13 from May 13 to turn over classified materials to Danchenko’s attorneys. So far, most of the classified documents have been handed over to Danchenko’s lawyers, although Durham said that “recent world events continue to contribute to delays in the processing and production of classified discovery,” possibly referring to the Ukraine–Russia conflict.
