Former Trump adviser Roger Stone is demanding to view a full copy of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian election interference, arguing that the report is crucial for his legal defense, according to federal court filings submitted by Stone’s legal team late Friday.

Attorney General Bill Barr is reportedly preparing a redacted version of the report to send to congress next week, but Democrats are demanding to see the full version. Now Stone’s attorneys are asking the court as part of his legal strategy to order the Justice Department to provide Stone with an unredacted copy.
