The Supreme Court agreed on Thursday to consider whether the House of Representatives should be given permission to access to grand jury secrets contained in special counsel Robert Mueller’s final report
The Supreme Court has all but doomed House Democrats' efforts to obtain former special counsel Robert Mueller's grand jury evidence before the November elections.
Some noted with irony that amid the House's effort to impeach Trump for obstructing Congress, many of the president's allies argued they should have pursued court battles for evidence first — yet Thursday's decision underscored that the legal process operates at a glacial pace compared to the election cycle.
"While I am confident their legal arguments will fail, it is now all the more important for the American people to hold the President accountable at the ballot box in November," Nadler said in a statement. House Democrats also argued that they needed to see the hundreds of deletions and supporting testimony to compare statements witnesses made in the Mueller investigation with statements some of those same witnesses made to the House.
