Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers requested on Thursday that a federal appeals court temporarily block the National Archives from releasing White House records to the House’s Jan. 6 committee conducting a probe of the riot at the U.S. Capitol.
President Biden has advocated from the National Archives to turn over the documents while former President Trump has claimed “executive privilege.”
The Jan. 6 House committee is expected to receive some White House records on Friday.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled against Trump on Tuesday.
Trump’s lawyers wrote to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on Thursday asking to block the release of the records, arguing that the former president would “suffer irreparable harm through the effective denial of a constitutional and statutory right to be fully heard on a serious disagreement between the former and incumbent president.”

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
