A federal appeals court put on hold a lower court order that had mandated the Justice Department turn over grand jury material from special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe to aid House Democrats in their impeachment inquiry.
On Tuesday, the U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Columbia granted the Justice Department’s request to delay any disclosure of documents as the administration appealed last week’s ruling which had said the Justice Department must turn over the material by Wednesday.
The House Democrats sought documents without redactions, exhibits from the report and any testimony related to the president’s knowledge of Russia’s attempted interference with the 2016 election, including any knowledge of crimes committed by his campaign officials.
Administration lawyers have pushed back against the subpoena for the information sought specifically by the House Judiciary Committee.
Judge Beryl A. Howell, an Obama appointee, said last week it was fair for the Democrats to have all relevant material to the special counsel’s probe into the Trump campaign and alleged collusion with Russia during the 2016 election for their impeachment inquiry.

If Trump and the Republicans are so transparent why are they fighting this?
They are not fighting it. This case was closed and Schiff just wants to dissect it so he can find a word or someone he can pay to lie for his Kangaroo Court he has made up to FRAME our President.
Screw off with your backroom deal health insurance and now a back room impeachment attempt. You are all crooked liars. So don't preach about transparency communist
840, the dems are planning a coup behind closed doors instead of doing their jobs. Why should our elected president sit back & let this happen?
The dems have continued to ask for this . This effort is not new. If Trump is so transparent ,...let them have it for heavens sake. What are they hiding ?
Yep ...with 48 Republicans included in the "back door " meetings. Did you even hear Trea Gowdey?
So I want you to be tried to go to prison or 4ell as an innocent person and see if you fight back. They have nothing and are digging for anything. It's called a witch hunt. See ya commie
The republicans were not allowed to participate. And they have embedded rules that disallow certain witnesses to be called and then limit what material questions may or may not be asked. C ya commie
President Trump has not committed any crimes...
He is flushing out the deep State by fighting back, and he is enjoying this.
like a bush full of wuail....dog goes in....flushes em out
