Justices Will Hear Case on Mueller’s Secret Evidence

July 2, 2020 at 9:56 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“The Supreme Court on Thursday dealt a significant blow to House Democrats’ efforts to have access to secret grand jury material from Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election, saying it would decide next term whether Congress is authorized to see the material,” the Washington Post reports.

“The decision to hear the case next fall means the House Judiciary Committee cannot have access to the material before the election.”

“It is unlikely there could be a Supreme Court decision even before the end of the current congressional term in January.”
