Andrew Miller, a former associate of longtime Donald Trump confidante Stone, was ordered to testify before the Mueller grand jury. Miller had challenged a subpoena for documents and testimony by arguing that Mueller's appointment was unconstitutional. For these reasons ... the witness's motion to quash the grand jury subpoenas is denied," US District Court for the District of Columbia Chief Judge Beryl Howell wrote in a 93-page opinion signed July 31. Howell ordered the witness to appear for testimony "at the earliest date available to the grand jury, and to complete production of the subpoenaed records promptly."
