But they’ve shared some of this information with the terrorist’s attorneys?
A criminal case against a Rochester man accused of plotting to murder returning troops will include “classified information” that cannot be disclosed for national security purposes, court papers show.
Attorneys in the case of Mufid Elfgeeh, arrested last year, agreed this month to an order that ensures some information cannot be made public. Under the order, there may be some information that Elfgeeh’s lawyers cannot even share with him.
The order “ensures that only those with an appropriate national security clearance and a need to know may have access to the classified information that may be implicated in this case,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Brett Harvey wrote in a July 9 request for the order classifying some information in the criminal case.
