The House of Representatives has argued in a new court filing that it needs information from the secret grand jury used in former special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation to help in its current impeachment inquiry of President Trump.
The filing is the first major argument the House has made in court invoking its Trump-Ukraine impeachment inquiry, which is still in its early days. The filing comes in a case where the House Judiciary Committee seeks information in the Mueller report that is redacted because it came from secret grand jury proceedings.
Trump, in written answers to Mueller's questions, wrote that he did not recall knowing of interactions between his top campaign officials and WikiLeaks, or recall conversations about what WikiLeaks might have on Trump's opponent, Hillary Clinton, or the Democrats before it was released. He has long derided the investigation as a"witch hunt."It's not clear why the House believes details that would illuminate this answer are hidden by grand jury proceedings.
