Roger Stone associate Andrew Miller has 1 more day to get SCOTUS to accept his case or else

he will have to comply with the Stone-related subpoena or face jail.

Miller was also ordered to answer questions before a grand jury about Guccifer 2.0 and DCLeaks, entities that U.S. prosecutors have alleged were online fronts invented by Russian intelligence operatives to spread the hacked documents before the 2016 presidential election.

On Tuesday, Judges Karen LeCraft Henderson, Judith W. Rogers and Sri Srinivasan of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit declined to stay the subpoena after earlier refusing to rehear a February decision upholding the constitutionality of Mueller’s appointment over Miller’s challenge. The full appeals court also had declined to revisit the case.

The three-judge panel gave Miller seven days to persuade the Supreme Court to take the case.

If he fails, or the high court rules against him, Miller faces an August contempt finding by U.S. District Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell of Washington for refusing to testify, an order that would leave him facing jail if he continues to decline to appear.
