Federal appeals court pauses release of Trump White House records before Friday deadline
2021-11-12
[Just The News] A federal appeals court on Thursday granted former President Trump's request to temporarily stop the release of documents to the Democrat-controlled House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Trump's lawyers made the request earlier Thursday ahead of the Friday 6 p.m. for the select committee to receive 46 records, including White House call logs, visitor logs, drafts of speeches and three handwritten memos from Trump's then-chief of staff Mark Meadows, according to CNN.

The ruling temporarily block the National Archives from releasing the records.

#3  I always wondered why Obama invoked executive privilege to prevent release Fast and Furious documents. Does that kind of executive privilege extend past a president's term? I'm no lawyer but that seems to be the question.

#2  ^^ I think this should be mandatory for all records for everyone to be released.
