Biden rejects Trump effort to block January 6 document release

Al Jazeera  

President Joe Biden has declined a request by his predecessor Donald Trump to prevent White House records of the deadly January 6 insurrection at the United States Capitol from being turned over to congressional investigators. On Friday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said the Biden administration would not allow Trump to assert “executive privilege” to block the request from the House committee investigating the riot for the Trump White House documents. “As a part of this process, the president has determined that an assertion of executive privilege is not warranted for the first set of documents from the Trump White House that have been provided to us by the National Archives.” Lawyers for Trump had sought to prevent Congress from obtaining those records by claiming “executive privilege”, a controversial legal argument that presidents have attempted to use in the past to shield confidential, internal discussions. NBC News first reported that Biden had declined to assert executive privilege on Trump’s behalf, with White House Counsel Dana Remus telling the National Archives in a letter that “an assertion of executive privilege is not in the best interest of the United States”.
