Foreign company in possibly Mueller-related secret case heads to Supreme Court
The unnamed company owned by a foreign country that is challenging a grand jury subpoena issued in federal court in Washington is asking the Supreme Court to step in.
This week, “Company A” lost its challenge against having to comply with a grand jury subpoena that many believe has been issued by special counsel Robert Mueller.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit rejected the challenge by the company to quash the subpoena.
On Saturday, the company asked the Supreme Court to intervene and stay the lower courts’ decision — and has also asked that the case remain under seal.
The company is also asking the Supreme Court to halt the continuing fines it is incurring for not complying with the subpoena, an effort the D.C. Circuit also rejected this week.
Legal expert Steve Vladeck said on Twitter that if the Supreme Court takes up the case and keeps it under seal, it will be the first time the highest court in the land has conducted plenary review, including oral arguments, under seal.
