The mysterious grand jury appeal reportedly tied to the Mueller investigation, explained

For months now, close watchers of the Mueller investigation have been intrigued by a mysterious court appeal involving a challenge to a grand jury action that appears to be tied to the probe — though most of the details remain tantalizingly sealed.

The case is about a corporation owned by a foreign country. The Washington Post reported Tuesday that the corporation in question is a “foreign financial institution” subpoenaed in connection with the Mueller investigation. The company has sued to try and block that subpoena.

So far, things haven’t gone well for the company in court. A district judge ruled against them, found them in contempt, and imposed a $50,000 per day financial penalty. A circuit court panel ruled against them too.

Now the matter has reached the Supreme Court. On Tuesday, the court denied the company’s request to put that financial penalty on hold pending an expected appeal. Also this week, the company asked the court for permission to submit a sealed appeal that will keep their identity hidden. If the company does appeal, the court will then have to decide whether to take up the case.
