WASHINGTON, Nov 9 (Reuters) - A U.S. federal judge has ruled that a congressional committee investigating the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol can access some of former President Donald Trump's White House records.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan in the District of Columbia rejected an argument by Trump's lawyers that telephone records, visitor logs and other White House documents should be kept from the committee.
Trump had argued that the materials requested by the House of Representatives committee were covered by a legal doctrine known as executive privilege that protects the confidentiality of some White House communications.
He requested an injunction blocking the National Archives, a federal agency that holds his White House records, from complying with the committee's document requests.
The committee has said it needs the requested materials to understand the role Trump may have played in fomenting the riot.

in a just world they would have to say up front what he’s accused of and what they are looking for... in a just world that is
Tanya Chutkan is just another Barack Obama stooge!
Appointed by : Barack Obama
Since when does Congress do INVESTIGATIONS?
That explains it.
Are they seriously harping on this nonsense..NO ONE GIVES A FLYING F ABOUT JAN 6th..at least anyone who has an actual LIFE
I see she’s a Jamaican.
So as Jimmy Buffet sang, a Jamaica-mistaka
Can this decision be appealed? I guess any such appeal would have to be with the Supreme Court.
‘Gulp!’
Has this ever been shown to be a good idea? Just asking.
The many I know who I think would make good judges--don't want to be judges.
There is the first problem. Who got deaded? Oh right, an unarmed former Marine woman for sticking her arm through a broken window to unlock a door. I've read that another woman was trampled in some kind of rushed exit, and 3 cops died later from natural causes.
Deadly attack, my ass.
Maybe this will come around and bite them in the ass
when the investigation of Brandon/Clinton/Obummer starts.
I’m not holding my breath but the shadenfreude would be
exquisite.
That’s what appeals are for.
NO ONE GIVES A FLYING F ABOUT JAN 6th..at least anyone who has an actual LIFE.
The ones that give an “F” are the ones invested in the
LIE of insurrection.
Republicans with a backbone will use this as a precedent on Biden.
Tanya Chutkan is just another Barack Obama stooge!
We’re all living in Obamaworld.
Trump hasn’t gotten a full, fair shake from these assclowns in nearly six years. No reason to expect differently, especially from an 0bama appointed black-robed thug.
