'Roger Stone is the only person with a compelling case for standing to demand the Report,' reads a motion to compel filed Friday.
Roger Stone, a longtime associate and confidante of President Donald Trump, asked a federal judge on Friday to not only dismiss the indictments brought against him by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, but to also give him access to the Mueller team's complete investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
The motions filed by Stone's attorneys accused Mueller of selective prosecution, arguing that the special counsel targeted Stone"because he has exercised his First Amendment right to associate with, and through speech, support Donald J. Trump, the President of the United States." While Stone is seeking access to the complete Mueller report, his motion clarified that he is not looking to make the document public, but only to use in his defense.
The release of that summary did nothing to alleviate the partisan bickering on Capitol Hill, with Trump and his supporters claiming the report had fully exonerated the president while many Democrats and Trump critics demanded to see the full report so they could judge the evidence for themselves.
