The Supreme Court has received a new request in a dispute over a mystery federal grand jury subpoena.
The request asks the court for permission to file an appeal under seal and redacted copies on the public record, meaning the public may soon get more information about this subpoena thought to be tied to special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.
The motion was filed on Jan. 7, according to the court’s docket, but announced Tuesday.
The federal grand jury subpoena, which is being kept under seal along with related court filings, seeks information from a corporation owned by a foreign government, known in court filings only as “Country A.”
Last month, the company asked the Supreme Court to block the subpoena, which the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld.
Chief Justice John Roberts did step in and agree to stay until further order a district court order that held the company in contempt and imposed a “fixed monetary penalty” that was set to increase each day the corporation failed to comply with the subpoena.
The court, however, has not ruled on whether to grant the request for a stay.
