WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday refused to hear an appeal from an unidentified foreign corporation fighting a sealed grand jury subpoena issued by Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel who investigated Russian interference in the 2016 election. The court’s action means that the corporation must provide information to the special counsel or pay mounting financial penalties. The case, In re Grand Jury Subpoena, No. But redacted court rulings and Supreme Court briefs have provided a few hints, including that an unnamed foreign government, referred to in court papers as Country A, owns the corporation. The corporation had argued that federal courts have no jurisdiction over criminal cases involving foreign governments.
