White House Rejects Trump’s Latest Claims of Executive Privilege in January 6 Probe

HeadlineOct 26, 2021

The White House has rejected former President Trump’s latest claims of executive privilege as he attempts to block the handing over of documents requested by the congressional committee investigating the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol. Trump has already filed a lawsuit to stop the National Archives from releasing documents to Congress as part of the probe. The National Archives is set to begin turning over records to the U.S. House next month, unless Trump wins a court order to block the request.
