A federal appeals court panel has rejected former President Donald Trump's effort to stop Jan. 6 investigators from obtaining his White House records.
"On the record before us, former President Trump has provided no basis for this court to override President Biden's judgment and the agreement and accommodations worked out between the Political Branches over these documents," the three-judge panel determined in a 68-page opinion authored by Judge Patricia Millett. "Both Branches agree that there is a unique legislative need for these documents and that they are directly relevant to the Committee's inquiry into an attack on the Legislative Branch and its constitutional role in the peaceful transfer of power."
The court gave Trump two weeks to seek an appeal before the order takes effect.
