The U.S. Supreme Court blocked House Democrats from seeing heretofore unreleased documents from the Russia investigation headed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.Mueller's probe investigated whether or not Russia had interfered with the presidential election of 2016. President Trump's involvement in the alleged meddling was also looked into, as were the actions of some members of Trump's election team.
People within Trump's realm of influence who were interviewed as part of the probe may have hampered Mueller's investigation. "I think there are probably a spectrum of witnesses in terms of those who are not telling the full truth and those that are outright liars," Mueller told Congress in July 2019.
One of those witnesses was Trump ally Roger Stone, who was convicted in November 2019 of witness tampering, obstruction of justice and making false statements to the House Intelligence Committee. Stone was accused of collaborating with WikiLeaks to publish emails stolen from the computer of Hillary Clinton's campaign manager Roger Podesta.
