A U.S. appeals court on Tuesday issued a stay that blocks the release to a congressional committee of an unredacted copy of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report detailing
Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election.
U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell on Friday ordered President Donald Trump's administration to hand over by Wednesday a copy of the Mueller report that included material that had been blacked out.
The department is trying to block
Democrats from accessing the full Mueller report on the grounds that doing so would require the disclosure of secret grand jury materials and potentially harm ongoing investigations.
