A U.S. appeals court upheld a ruling that granted a Democratic-led House of Representatives committee access to redacted material from the Mueller report
WASHINGTON - A U.S. appeals court on Tuesday dealt a setback to President Donald Trump’s administration, ruling that the Justice Department must provide a Democratic-led congressional panel grand jury material redacted from former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 election.
“Here, the context makes readily apparent that the need for disclosure is not only greater than the need for continued secrecy but that the district court findings confirmed the particularity of the need,” the court stated, referring to Howell’s ruling. Mueller submitted his report to U.S. Attorney General William Barr in March 2019 after completing a 22-month investigation that detailed Russia’s campaign of hacking and propaganda to boost Trump’s candidacy in the 2016 election as well as extensive contacts between Trump’s campaign and Moscow.
A Justice Department spokeswoman said officials are “reviewing the decision.” The department could ask the same circuit court to reconsider Tuesday’s decision or appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court.
