The company has been ordered to pay around $50,000 per day in contempt of court charges.

The Supreme Court on Monday determined it would not hear the appeal of an unidentified foreign government-owned company that is fighting a grand jury subpoena that stemmed from the Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

“The D.C. Circuit became the first appellate court in American history to exercise criminal jurisdiction over a foreign state. Although two other circuits have previously suggested that the FSIA does not preclude an American court from exercising criminal jurisdiction over a foreign state, the ruling... represents the first time that an appellate court has taken that leap,” the company’s attorneys wrote in a petition to the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court’s decision not to hear the appeal, leaving the company in contempt of the appellate court’s ruling in January, comes just days after special counsel Robert Mueller issued his final report on Russian election interference to the Department of Justice. Experts say the mystery company’s case could ultimately be determined by the fate of the special counsel’s office.

Dear newsweek There is no future Russia probe. Write about avennatti, fisa, child abuse, illegal spying by whatshisname's administration. it's over. You picked the wrong side. You lost a lot of credibility.

No wonder Mueller hit a road block on criminally prosecuting Trump on conspiracy. These Russian or whom ever this foreign entity is, is circumventing the US laws. Let them owe money!

Muller should run fro Senate. Just a thought, a beautiful thought

Supreme Court won’t hear appeal from company resisting Mueller subpoenaThe foreign-owned corporation faces daily fines for not cooperating with grand jury. I don't get this either. Although I always knew nothing would be done to Trump. The US President is above the law while in office, so folks, elections matter a hell of lot more than you think. Unless he actually commits treason, he is safe from all till he is out. Something seems fishy...if there is still an ongoing legal battle about this, how can the MuellerReport be complete? A day late, a dollar short, no?
