Judge denies Trump's request to block release of documents to January 6 committee
CBSN
Washington — A federal judge late Wednesday denied former President Trump's appeal of her earlier decision denying his request to block the release of documents that were requested by the House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol attack.
"This court will not effectively ignore its own reasoning in denying injunctive relief in the first place to grant injunctive relief now," Judge Tanya Chutkan wrote. She added that Mr. Trump can look to the appeals court for any relief he seeks. "Plaintiff can seek appellate relief in the interim."
Last month, Mr. Trump sued the committee and the archives in an attempt to halt the transfer of his records, citing executive privilege.
