Judge denies Trump request to halt release of documents to Jan. 6 select committee
Fox News
U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan denied former President Donald Trump’s request Wednesday to place a hold on an earlier ruling in which she rejected his bid to prevent the release of White House documents related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
"This court will not effectively ignore its own reasoning in denying injunctive relief in the first place to grant injunctive relief now," the ruling said.
Trump has cited executive privilege in his effort to prevent the release of the requested documents, which include telephone records and visitor held by the National Archives. Select Committee members say the documents are essential to understand the Trump administration’s potential role in the Capitol riot.
