The order blocked a lower court's ruling pending the filing of a formal request for the Supreme Court to review the case on appeal from the Trump administration.
Lawyers for the the Democrat-led panel said that the materials are needed as part of its investigation into President Donald Trump, which "did not cease with the conclusion of the impeachment trial."The Supreme Court on Wednesday temporarily blocked House Democrats from obtaining grand jury materials gathered during former special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.
Grand jury materials are normally kept secret, but can be made public through the courts in connection with judicial proceedings. House Democrats successfully argued before a panel of the D.C. federal appeals court that an impeachment trial qualifies as a judicial proceeding. Mueller had investigated Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, as well as possible coordination between the Kremlin and Trump's campaign and possible obstruction of justice by Trump himself. Mueller did not find evidence to support Trump-Russia collusion, but highlighted multiple instances of possible obstruction in his final report.
