Supreme Court blocks disclosure of secret grand jury evidence from Russia probe to Congress for now
WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court on Wednesday temporarily blocked Congress from obtaining secret grand jury material from the Russia investigation, putting on hold a lower court's ruling that would've allowed such disclosure while it decides whether to take the case on appeal.
After being impeached in the House, Trump was acquitted of those charges in the Senate in February. The proceedings focused on the Trump administration's dealings with Ukraine. The lower court ruled that it is, saying the Framers of the Constitution understood impeachment to involve the exercise of judicial power.
