Supreme Court blocks Democrats from getting Robert Mueller's investigation's grand jury material

[Soph0571]

The Supreme Court on Wednesday temporarily prevented the House of Representatives from obtaining secret grand jury testimony from special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.

The court's unsigned order keeps previously undisclosed details from the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election out of the hands of Democratic lawmakers at least until early summer. The court will decide then whether to extend its hold.

The federal appeals court in Washington ruled in March that the documents should be turned over because the House Judiciary Committee´s need for the material in its investigation of President Donald Trump outweighed the Justice Department's interests in keeping the testimony secret.

until it has time to review briefs because once allegedly privileged material is released the damage is done. Of course, I have little faith this SCOTUS will do the right thing after reviewing briefs
