The January 6th committee has been trying to get their hands on Trump’s White House records to prove he organized the Capitol riot and Trump has been fighting them in court to stop them.
The Supreme Court ruled last month that Trump could not block the records via executive privilege, but Trump appealed it.
Today the Supreme Court has turned away his appeal, refusing to take it up:
THE HILL – The Supreme Court on Tuesday turned away an appeal by former President Trump in his dispute with congressional investigators who have sought access to Trump-era records as part of a House panel’s investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
The court’s move, which came in a brief unsigned order issued without comment, comes after the justices denied Trump’s emergency request to block the transfer of his White House records from the National Archives to the House select committee, a process that began last month.
Tuesday’s development formally ends Trump’s legal effort to stymie lawmakers’ efforts to obtain a batch of schedules, call logs, emails and other requested documents that the committee says could illuminate key circumstances surrounding the deadly Capitol riot.
The order leaves intact a lower federal appeals court ruling that found Trump’s assertion of executive privilege and other legal theories unpersuasive in light of President Biden’s refusal to invoke privilege, as well as the House panel’s pressing task.
I really hate that Trump has lost this fight because the January 6th committee is going to try and scandalize every little thing they find in order to try and damage Trump and turn the tide against Republicans in this year’s elections. It won’t work though, especially with regard to this year’s elections, because Biden is a horrible president and many are done with him and his socialistic Democrats.
