Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee have asked the Supreme Court to order the release of secret grand jury materials from former special counsel Robert Mueller’s office, in what the lawmakers said is their continuing impeachment investigation of President Donald Trump.
“The committee’s impeachment investigation related to obstruction of justice pertaining to the Russia investigation is ongoing,” Douglas Letter, the House general counsel, said in a court filing (pdf). What is being sought is “disclosure to the House Committee on the Judiciary of a limited set of grand jury materials for use in the committee’s ongoing presidential impeachment investigation,” he notes in the document.
