Mueller Says Putin Associate Shouldn’t See Evidence Unless He Comes to Court

U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller said a longtime associate of Russian President Vladimir Putin should be barred from seeing evidence in a U.S. criminal case unless he appears in court to defend himself. Mueller used a court filing Tuesday to claim Yevgeny Prigozhin is trying to evade prosecution even as he seeks access to pretrial evidence against his firm that’s also under indictment, Concord Management and Consulting LLC. Prigozhin, who provides food services to the Kremlin, is known as Putin’s chef.
