The Supreme Court justices were expected on Friday to discuss a request from a foreign mystery company that’s reportedly part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian collusion in the U.S. presidential campaign, CNN reported. The unidentified corporation owned by a foreign government has been battling a subpoena from a District of Columbia grand jury, arguing that compliance would violate its country’s laws. The District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the company must comply and imposed fines until it did. Now the company wants to file an appeal with the Supreme Court — but under seal to keep details about the corporation and the case quiet. It’s not known what kind of operation the targeted corporation is or which foreign government it’s linked to.
