“The public has a right to know the full scope of Russian interference in the 2016 United States presidential election and whether the president of the United States played any role in such interference,” EPIC said in the lawsuit. “The public also has a right to know whether the president unlawfully obstructed any investigation into Russian election interference or related matters. The requested records are vital to the public’s understanding of these issues and to the integrity of the political system of the United States.”

EPIC’s public records request sought documents in over a dozen categories, including Mueller’s final report to the attorney general, and any drafts and exhibits related to the report.
