The Supreme Court handed Mueller a victory in his mysterious grand-jury subpoena fight


The Supreme Court handed Mueller a victory in his mysterious grand-jury subpoena fight

The Supreme Court on Tuesday decided not to intervene in the ongoing legal battle between the special counsel Robert Mueller and an unknown foreign corporation fighting Mueller's grand-jury subpoena.

It means the unknown foreign company will be forced to pay fines for each day it refuses to comply with Mueller's subpoena.


Last year a federal appeals court ordered the entity to comply with the subpoena or pay a fine. The company appealed the ruling to the high court in December, and the Supreme Court declined the request on Tuesday.

Few details have trickled out about the case so far, but Mueller dropped a hint last week that the grand-jury-subpoena case could be tied to a separate case prosecutors have against several Russian entities indicted on charges they conspired to interfere in the 2016 race.

Article doesnt say.

If there is a vote how do we find out who voted how?

Is it 5 of them have to agree to do it and 5 didnt? Which 4 DID if 4 did? can we find out?

In a brief and unanimous order, the Supreme Court declared the following on Tuesday: “The application for stay, presented to The Chief Justice and by him referred to the Court, is denied. The administrative stay previously entered by The Chief Justice is vacated.”
