SCOTUS Sides Against Trump

The Jan. 6 Committee received a major victory on Wednesday as the Supreme Court rejected Trump's appeal to withhold White House records pertaining to last year's insurrection.

Donald Trump has fought to block the release of the documents to the Select Committee three times, and all three times he has lost. All of the lower-court judges who heard the case have all agreed that the Committee has the right to obtain the documents and that "Biden, as the sitting president, was the proper person to judge whether they are protected by executive privilege." Leading up to the Supreme Court, despite the former president appointing one third of the sitting Justices, only Clarence Thomas dissented with the majority opinion.
