Court Rejects Trump's Efforts To Keep Records From Jan. 6 Panel

He sued the Jan. 6 committee and the National Archives to stop the White House from allowing documents related to the insurrection to be released.

A federal appeals court ruled Thursday against an effort by President Donald Trump to shield documents from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol.

The three-judge panel said there was a "unique legislative need" for documents that the committee has requested but whose release Trump has sought to block through executive privilege.

The appeals court ruled that the injunction that has prevented the National Archives from turning over the documents will expire in two weeks, or when the Supreme Court rules on an expected appeal from Trump, whichever is later.
