Washington (CNN) The House Judiciary Committee says it needs grand jury secrets from the Mueller investigation as soon as Friday, so it can keep investigating President Donald Trump for potentially impeachable offenses, even during the coronavirus shutdown, according to a new court filing.

The House told the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit on Wednesday the court shouldn't delay access to the Mueller material, which the appeals court previously decided the House could see.

The Justice Department has tried to keep the grand jury details from the House, asking last week to block the disclosure of the details because it wants to take the fight to the US Supreme Court.
