The Supreme Court on Friday has granted the Trump administration’s request to temporarily block the release of grand jury materials from former special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation to the House of Representatives.
The order (pdf), which was signed by Chief Justice John Roberts, shields the documents from being handed over to the Democratic-led House Judiciary Committee temporarily while the court considers a Trump administration application for a longer delay. The court gave the House committee until 3 p.m. on May 18 to file a response to that application.
