Judge denies Trump's request to block release of documents to January 6 committee

A federal judge has ruled Tuesday that the House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol attack can have access to requested White House Records from the Trump Administration held by the National Archives.
Last month, former President Trump sued the committee and the archives in an attempt to halt the transfer of his records, citing executive privilege.
Late Tuesday, Judge Tanya Chutukan ruled against him, allowing the records transfer, set for November 12, to go forward. Attorneys for the former president have appealed Tuesday's ruling to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
