The foreign-owned corporation faces daily fines for not cooperating with grand jury.

By Robert Barnes Robert Barnes Reporter covering the U.S. Supreme Court Email Bio Follow March 25 at 9:55 AM The Supreme Court on Monday said it would not review a lower-court order requiring an unnamed foreign-owned corporation to comply with a subpoena that is part of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

The entity that is the subject of the cloaked legal battle — known in court papers simply as a “Corporation” from “Country A” — is a foreign financial institution that was issued a subpoena by a grand jury hearing evidence in the special counsel investigation. Mueller turned in his report to Attorney General William Barr last week, and it is unclear if he or other prosecutors will pursue the information his subpoena sought. The grand jury remains empaneled.Last year, a federal court in Washington ordered the corporation to pay a daily fine of $50,000 until it complied with the subpoena, according to court records. An appeals court panel upheld that decision.

MelissaJPeltier If this is a Russian bank, as we all assume, Trump is going to move to shut this down right away

PrincessBravato 🤔Hmm, interesting how the administration pushed their fake 'Total Exoneration' ploy the day before this news broke. 🤔

So the subpoena stands. Sounds like Mueller isn't really done? Or is someone else taking over this portion of the investigation.

A day late, a dollar short, no?

Something seems fishy...if there is still an ongoing legal battle about this, how can the MuellerReport be complete?

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.
