Secret Court Filing By Prosecutors Is Very Bad News for Donald Trump
As many government employees are on furlough, the federal prosecutors investigating Russia influence in the 2016 elections continued to make filings and take care of business.
The latest news that will cause Donald Trump to lose sleep is that a Joint Status Report Under Seal has been filed in the W. Samuel Patten criminal matter.

Patten is a lobbyist and political consultant who was a close partner of Russian spy Konstantin Kilimnik, as well as working for the parent of Cambridge Analytica and working with Paul Manafort.
According to CNN:
Washington lobbyist W. Samuel Patten, who has been one of the most low-profile but potentially significant cooperators in the special counsels office investigation, appears to still be involved with sensitive aspects of Robert Mueller and the Justice Departments work.
In a court filing Monday meant to update a judge on his case and whether he should proceed to sentencing, prosecutors revealed nothing. Instead, they filed the entire status update under seal, giving no public reason for keeping details of his case private.
