DC Circuit Court of Appeals stays contempt inquiry pending resolution of appeal
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit grants the Trump administration's motion to stay Judge Boasberg's contempt inquiry while the appeal challenging the original TRO proceeds. The stay temporarily halts the criminal investigation into the administration officials. This procedural victory delays potential criminal accountability for the TRO violation.
