(CNN)A Russian company accused of interfering in the 2016 US presidential election continues to play hardball with special counsel Robert Mueller's team, now asking a federal judge to look closely at whether the prosecutors pursued a sham criminal case.

Concord Management and Consulting said in a court filing Monday that foreign interference in the election is a "make-believe crime." The company accused Mueller of trying to "justify his own existence" and needing "to indict a Russian -- any Russian" for political reasons.
