WASHINGTON The Supreme Court on Wednesday temporarily prevented the House of Representatives from obtaining secret grand jury testimony from special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation. The American people deserve the truth.The case is one of several ongoing court disputes between the Trump administration and Congress. The Supreme Court heard arguments last week over whether Trumps accountants and banks must turn over financial records to House committees.

Grand jury testimony is typically treated as secret, in part to protect the privacy of people who are not charged or are considered peripheral to a criminal investigation.

WASHINGTON, DC The House of Representatives is telling the Supreme Court it will agree to a 10-day halt in its fight for President Donald Trumps financial records. The Houses top lawyer has responded to Trumps emergency filing on Friday asking the justices to block the enforcement of a subpoena issued by a House committee to Trumps accountants. Lawyer Douglas Letter tells the high court that the House opposes any lengthy delay in obtaining the records. But Letter says 10 days is enough for the orderly filing of legal briefs so that the justices can decide whether they will jump into the dispute between Congress and the president. The high court has a separate pending request from Trump to block a subpoena from a New York prosecutor for Trumps tax returns.
