Supreme Court Temporarily Blocks House Democrats’ Request to Access Mueller Grand Jury Material

The ⚖️Supreme Court is rejecting House Democrats request to access redacted grand jury material from former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

The court’s ruling on Wednesday blocks Democrats from accessing secret grand jury transcripts and information related to Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Additionally, the court gave the Justice Department until June 1 to file an appeal of a lower court ruling that required the department to hand over the grand jury documents to the House Judiciary Committee.

Earlier this year, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Justice Department must hand over the Mueller documents to the House.

However, on May 7, the Trump administration asked the ⚖️Supreme Court to block the release of the documents temporarily.

Congressional Democrats said the documents could help them determine if Trump obstructed Mueller’s investigation — which might lead them to draw up another article of impeachment against President Donald Trump.
