Judge says she'll rule "expeditiously" on Trump's bid to shield January 6 records from House

Washington — A federal judge said Thursday she would rule "expeditiously" on whether former President Donald Trump can keep certain records from his tenure in the White House out of the hands of the House committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol.  

Attorneys representing Mr. Trump, the House of Representatives and the National Archives argued in federal court Thursday over the House select committee's requests for the records held by the National Archives and Records Administration that pertain to the Capitol riot. 

The former president sued the committee and the National Archives in an attempt to halt the transfer of records from his presidency, over 750 of which he has claimed executive privilege.
