National Archives planning to turn over handful of Trump docs to January 6 committee

Washington — The National Archives said it plans to release a group of disputed Trump White House documents to the House committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol on Wednesday evening, barring intervention from the federal courts.

This group of documents is not specifically identified in the ongoing lawsuit between former President Donald Trump and the committee, which pertains to three additional collections of his White House records, so the Archives said the documents can be turned over. 

"Absent an intervening court order, the Archivist intends to release records from the fourth tranche to the Committee at 6:00 pm tomorrow," the National Archives wrote the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals late Tuesday night.
