DOJ Appeals To Supreme Court To Block Access To Mueller Documents

The transcript discusses a legal battle over access to secret grand jury materials from Robert Mueller's Russia investigation. The Supreme Court issued a temporary stay to allow the Department of Justice (DOJ) to appeal a lower court's decision to release the materials to the House Judiciary Committee. The DOJ argues that releasing the materials could harm the grand jury system. If the Supreme Court denies the appeal, the materials will be released to the House, which is investigating whether President Trump obstructed justice.
