Government files sealed response to Supreme Court in mystery grand jury case
(CNN)The federal government responded Friday to Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts' issuance of a temporary pause on an order holding an unnamed, foreign government-owned company in contempt over a mystery court case related to special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
The government response was filed under seal ahead of Monday's deadline.
This is the first known legal challenge apparently related to Mueller's investigation to make its way to the Supreme Court.

This is the first known legal challenge apparently related to Mueller's investigation to make its way to the Supreme Court.
Roberts' original order put on hold the contempt citation issued by a DC federal judge against the company for refusing to comply with a grand jury subpoena, but only long enough for the justices to decide whether they want to intervene.
It would take votes from five justices to keep in place the pause of the contempt citation if the Supreme Court decides to take up a full review of the lower court rulings.
