Donald Trump sues to block January 6 documents release in challenge to Joe Biden
The Metro says former President Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against the House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot as well as the National Archives, in an effort to stop documents on the event from being released.
Trump in his suit filed on Monday in DC District Court is claiming executive privilege, which is the power the president and other executive branch officials have to withhold some confidential communications from the legislative branch and courts.
It represents a challenge to President Joe Biden’s refusal earlier this month to assert executive privilege on behalf of Trump, on the first batch of the documents around the insurrection.
