Mystery company off the hook from Mueller subpoena and contempt of court charge

Source: CNN

The anonymous foreign-government-owned company that fought a subpoena in the special counsel investigation for months appears to be off the hook, while prosecutors continue to put significant resources into investigating what Robert Mueller pursued related to the company, according to newly unsealed court records.

Federal judge Beryl Howell of the DC District Court stopped fining the company in February, when it turned almost 1,000 pages of documents over to Mueller.

The court fight dragged on from February into April, however, because Mueller's team and other prosecutors believed the company had kept records from them, according to the newly unsealed information.

Sounds like they were successful in defying the subpoena.

"The court fight dragged on from February into April, however, because Mueller's team and other prosecutors believed the company had kept records from them"


"Federal judge Beryl Howell of the DC District Court stopped fining the company in February, when it turned almost 1,000 pages of documents over to Mueller."

"She finally deciding (sic) the company was no longer in contempt on April 17."


Sounds more like they complied due to the contempt charges (ie. Meuller was successful)
