Durham to produce ‘large volume’ of classified discovery in Steele dossier case

The Justice Department and John Durham are set to produce a “large volume” of classified materials this week in the case against the main source for former UK spy Christopher Steele’s dossier.

In a filing, Durham asked a judge in federal court in Virginia for a deadline extension on the production of the classified discovery. He cited the Russian invasion of Ukraine as the reason for the extension.

The deadline was initially set for March 29, and Durham asked for an extension until May 13.

“To date, the government has produced over 60,000 documents in unclassified discovery. A portion of these documents were originally marked ‘classified’ and the government has worked with the appropriate declassification authorities to produce the documents in an unclassified format,” Durham said in the filing submitted to federal court in the Eastern District of Virginia.

“However, recent world events in Ukraine have contributed to delays in the production of classified discovery,” he added. “The officials preparing and reviewing the documents at the FBI and intelligence agencies are heavily engaged in matters related to Ukraine. Nevertheless, the government will produce a large volume of classified discovery this week and will continue its efforts to produce documents in classified discovery on a rolling basis, and no later than the proposed deadlines set forth below.”
