The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday brought a formal end to former President Donald Trump's request to block the release of White House records sought by the Democratic-led congressional panel investigating last year's deadly attack on the Capitol by a mob of his supporters.
The court's decision to formally reject Trump's appeal follows its Jan. 19 order that led to the documents being handed over to the House of Representatives investigative committee by the federal agency that stores government and historical records.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on Dec. 9 upheld a lower court ruling that Trump had no basis to challenge President Joe Biden's decision to allow the records to be handed over to the House of Representatives select committee. Trump then appealed to the Supreme Court
Trump and his allies have waged an ongoing legal battle with the House select committee seeking to block access to documents and witnesses. Trump has sought to invoke a legal principle known as executive privilege, which protects the confidentially of some internal White House communications, a stance rejected by lower courts.
The House committee has said it needed the records to understand any role Trump may have played in fomenting the violence that unfolded on Jan. 6, 2021. His supporters stormed the Capitol in a failed bid to prevent Congress from formally certifying Biden's 2020 presidential election victory over Trump.
The committee asked the National Archives to produce visitor logs, phone records and written communications between his advisers.

Don’t call me some, asshole. I don’t like any of you effing whiners.
Working. That’s where I was. Maybe you should try it.
“When Trump wins it will be time to revisit Eric (”wingman”) Holer’s , Valjar’s, Susan Rice’s communications with Obama AND Piglousy AND Schmuck, AND Shiftforbrains.”
Exactly. However, you can bet there will be ‘lost’ records like the Sandy Bergman disappearing act. They should have been careful what they asked for, because it will happen.
Ooh tough guy. When are you going to grab your guns and jump into the graveyard, if not now then when? It is just a waste of time trying to converse with emotional simpletons like the surrender Monkees and religious fanatics at this site.
Obama’s records too
Son is what it should have said, I don’t like people not my father calling me son. What you’re trying to do is claim superiority in the conversation. I’ve studied the language of tyrants and that of propaganda also. I can see right through you. So don’t refer to me as son.
Now they Dems will seek a Congressional Order barring President Trump from running in 2024, after the Kangaroo Commission on January 6th makes its findings available to Congress.
And Mitch the Bitch will cooperate in the Senate.
This is classic”Kingly,” Bill of Attainder stuff which is barred by the Constitution.
But they cannot stop either Ron DeSantis or Mike Pompeo from running. This is turning nto a comedy of miniscule proportions.Whatever is done, you can bet that Republians will win the Presidency in 2024.
By then the geriatric drool at the White Hut will be knee deep.
Stop clutching the pearls Mary. If you are that concerned, then fight for it. However, It aint over yet! They won’t get anything out of Trumps transcripts. They want to get a clue as to what is in Trumps PEADs. Its not there in his transcripts. He has outplayed all of them step by step. However, now the ruling sets precedent against Biden, Obama, Bush and Clinton. This is a backfire bigly more on them than Trump because now they have nothing to hide behind to cover their crimes.
can we just tepeal the 17th and 19th and get back to less BS in politics? Back when a stste senate could recall a senator without another public election?
See #9 upthread.
TheTrump backfire will be coming.
Multiple times Trump has baited the communists and more is coming. Just like his “perfect phone call” to Ukraine, he produced the transcript and burned down the opposition.
Over and over POTUS leaves behind exactly what he wants them to find. His bait lights them up until they glow in the dark, and makes them easy to find. When he finds it useful to, he will burn them again with their own matches. Imho.
So you do have a couple of brains but you’re still a complete pussy.
Sickening.
👍🏼 👍🏼
Love it.
You assume that there is the political will and power to do anything
Since there is no law, there is no law
And why should they think foar ahead?? The GOPe are a bunch of cowards.
They could’ve held obama’s feet to the fire in 2010 and 2014 but they did nothing. Its not just about winning the House & Senate back in 2022- its winning it back with the RIGHT people, not these damned cowardly RINO’s!!!
Paul, Cruz, Jordan, Gaetz, etc...
WE aren’t taking congress.
Establishment does not represent us.
Thank you!!! I’m with you. Every single letter in your post is absolutely right.
