Appeals court rejects Trump effort to deny records to Jan. 6 panel
By Harper Neidig - 12/09/21 04:42 PM EST

A federal appeals court on Thursday denied former President Trump's effort to block the National Archives from turning over his White House's records to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

A three-judge panel for the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously rejected Trump's lawyers' arguments that the former president could wield claims of executive privilege to prevent the current administration from sharing the documents with Congress.

"On the record before us, former President Trump has provided no basis for this court to override President Biden’s judgment and the agreement and accommodations worked out between the Political Branches over these documents," Judge Patricia Millett wrote in a 68-page opinion for the panel.

"Both Branches agree that there is a unique legislative need for these documents and that they are directly relevant to the Committee’s inquiry into an attack on the Legislative Branch and its constitutional role in the peaceful transfer of power."

Trump spokesperson Liz Harrington quickly vowed Trump would take the case to the Supreme Court.

Then they may regret it when your governor steps up.

All three judges on the panel were appointed by Obama.

Now Roberts must decide if he's going to ignore another issue his court should deal with.   At its core, this is not about Biden's decision, this is still a separations of powers issue.

We've known this ever since the Marxists tried to include the stipulation in Impeachment II that Trump could not hold public office again.  Pelosi even tried to push this through Congress.

We need to focus not on  the fact they're doing this ...... but on why they are doing this.
