Federal Court To Hear Arguments Over Former Pres. Trump's Documents

The House committee investigating Jan. 6 is seeking documents from the former president — something he says should be kept under executive privilege.

The release of former President Donald Trump's records will be up for debate Tuesday when a federal court is set to hear arguments over whether the documents should be released to the House Jan. 6 committee.

The former president is claiming executive privilege shields him from handing over call logs, presidential diaries, emails and other records sought by the House committee investigating the attack on the Capitol.

At the center of the legal battle is the question of how much protection presidents have over White House records once they leave office.
