Supreme Court Allows Release of Jan 6 Files
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court blocked President Donald J. Trump’s request to prevent the release of the White House records regarding the January 6 Capitol attack. The allegations were virtually dismissed and paved. Only Judge Clarence Thomas found the contradiction in the Court of Appeals that Mr. Trump's desire to maintain the confidentiality of the White House's internal communications was offset by the need for a complete explanation of the attack and sabotage.
Within hours the National Archives began submitting hundreds of pages of documents to the Commission. A spokesman for the Justice Department said the document was provided by the committee on Wednesday night. However, a panel spokesman said Thursday morning that the committee had received only some documents and hoped that the rest would be delivered as soon as the archive could provide.
Trump also sought to prevent the release of notes from the files of his former Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows; Stephen Miller, his former senior adviser; Patrick F. Philbin, his former assistant lawyer. Trump also tried to stop the White House daily (a record of presidential movements, telephones, travel, briefings, meetings, and activities), which included records showing a telephone conversation between the president and Vice President Mike Pence concerning Jan 6.
