Trump wants call logs, aide's notes hidden from January 6 panel

Former President Donald Trump is trying to block documents including call logs, drafts of remarks and speeches and handwritten notes from his chief of staff relating to the January 6 Capitol insurrection from being released to the committee investigating the riot, the National Archives revealed in a court filing early Saturday.

Mr. Trump has sued to prevent the National Archives from transmitting those documents, and thousands more, to the House committee investigating the attack. President Joe Biden declined to assert executive privilege on most of Mr. Trump's records after determining that doing so is "not in the best interests of the United States."

The Saturday filing, which came as part of the National Archives and Record Administration's opposition to Mr. Trump's lawsuit, details the effort the agency has undertaken to identify records from the Trump White House in response to a broad, 13-page request from the House committee for documents pertaining to the insurrection and Mr. Trump's efforts to undermine the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election.
