The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday blocked a House committee from receiving grand jury material gathered by special counsel Robert Mueller, issuing a stay while a legal dispute over the records is on appeal.

The House Judiciary Committee had said it needed the material now, because it has been investigating President Donald Trump and its work "did not cease with the conclusion of the impeachment trial." When Mueller's work ended last year, the Justice Department sent a version of his final report to Congress, but it blacked out references to information that was gathered by the grand jury.
