Court rejects Donald Trump's efforts to keep records from Jan. 6 panel

Judge Patricia Millett, writing for the court, said the Congress had “uniquely vital interests” in studying the events of Jan. 6
A federal appeals court ruled on Thursday against an effort by former President Donald Mr. Trump to shield documents from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol.
In a 68-page ruling, the three-judge panel tossed aside Mr. Trump's various arguments for blocking through executive privilege records that the committee regards as vital to its investigation into the run-up to the deadly riot aimed at overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Judge Patricia Millett, writing for the court, said the Congress had “uniquely vital interests” in studying the events of Jan. 6 and said President Joe Biden had made a “carefully reasoned" determination that the documents were in the public interest and that executive privilege should therefore not be invoked.
