WASHINGTON — The Trump administration Thursday asked the Supreme Court to block the House Judiciary Committee from obtaining grand-jury materials from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

A federal appeals court in March ordered the Justice Department to surrender the documents, finding the House’s impeachment powers entitled the Judiciary Committee to redacted portions of the special counsel’s report and related materials.
