Former President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court to block the release of White House records that are being sought by the House Jan. 6 select committee.
The request from the House Select Committee, which is led by Reps. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), is “exceedingly broad” and an “unprecedented encroachment on executive privilege,” Trump’s lawyers argued on Thursday. President Joe Biden previously declined to invoke executive privilege over the disputed records.
