    Appeals court rules against Trump in fight over Jan. 6 committee documents request
    His lawyers will most likely now file an emergency appeal with the Supreme Court in an effort to block the release.

    A federal appeals court ruled Thursday that former President Donald Trump cannot prevent the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack from getting hundreds of documents created when he was in the White House.

    Trump's lawyers will most likely now file an emergency appeal with the Supreme Court in an effort to block the release. They will have 14 days to file the appeal.

    Lawyers for the House said the committee needs the records "to complete a thorough investigation into how the actions of the former president, his advisers, and other government officials may have contributed to the attack on Congress to impede the peaceful transfer of presidential power."

    After the committee sought Trump administration records from the National Archives, the former president asserted executive privilege over more than 700 pages of documents. But President Joe Biden decided that the material should be released to Congress.

    Thursday's ruling cited a 1977 Supreme Court ruling issued in a dispute between former President Richard Nixon and the Archives. While former presidents retain some ability to assert the privilege, the current president is in the best position to evaluate when such claims should be honored,” that decision said.

    "Former President Trump has given this court no legal reason to cast aside President Biden’s assessment," Judge Patricia Millett wrote in the decision.

    This is a developing story

    Democrats should realize that their waste of tax dollars conducting these bogus investigations will not help them politically. If the Republicans gain power, expect them to investigate some of these abusive members of Congress. They need to be held accountable. Those that do not get booted out by Americans in the November 2022 midterms. We got to get rid of the swamp creatures and their allies wherever they may be.

    Regretful MAGA rioter says Trump 'lied' to him in apology letter to judge

    On Monday, Ryan Reilly of the Huffington Post reported that Robert Scott Palmer, a Florida man involved in the January 6 Capitol attack, wrote a handwritten apology letter to the judge in his case, in which he fingered former President Donald Trump as the inciter of the violence that day.

    "They kept spitting out the false narative [sic] about a stolen election and how it was 'our duty' to stand up to tyranny," wrote Scott in the letter. "Little did I realize that they were the tyrannical ones."

    He added that he understands Trump supporters "were lied to by ... the sitting president, as well as those acting on his behalf."

    Many defendants in the Capitol riot cases have tried to argue they were pushed into it by Trump and right-wing media, although judges have broadly not bought this argument.
