DOJ plans to appeal ruling over secret Mueller grand jury details to Supreme Court
The Justice Department announced its intention to appeal to the Supreme Court in an effort to block secretive grand jury materials from special counsel Robert Muellers report from being handed over to the Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee.
DOJ lawyers made their intentions clear in a Friday legal filing in which they asked the D.C. appeals court to stay a court order to deliver those materials to Congress by May 1 while the Trump administration lawyers ready their writ of certiorari in hopes that the highest court in the land takes up the case and sides with them. The Justice Department said the congressional committee opposed the motion.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled in a 2-1 vote in March to uphold U.S. District Court Chief Judge Beryl Howells October 2019 ruling that House investigators should be given access to the grand jury material redacted within and underlying Muellers report on Russian election interference.
The Justice Department requested a stay from the appeals court this week or, if that is denied, asked for a temporary stay to allow it time to seek a stay from the Supreme Court as it seeks to convince the justices to take up the high-profile case.
