US Appeals Court Blocks Release of Unredacted Mueller Report Pending Appeal

Reuters

   WASHINGTON - A U.S. appeals court on Tuesday issued a stay that blocks
   the release to a congressional committee of an unredacted copy of
   former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report detailing Russian
   meddling in the 2016 U.S. election.

   U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell on Friday ordered President Donald
   Trump's administration to hand over by Wednesday a copy of the Mueller
   report that included material that had been blacked out.

   The Justice Department requested the stay by the Court of Appeals in
   Washington while it appeals Howell's ruling.

   The department is trying to block Democrats from accessing the full
   Mueller report on the grounds that doing so would require the
   disclosure of secret grand jury materials and potentially harm ongoing
   investigations.

   The U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee issued a subpoena
   seeking the full report as part of Democrats' effort to build a case
   for removing Trump from office through impeachment.
