Former President Trump Sues to Keep Records Secret

Trump wants to keep some of the records from his term in office sealed.

Former President Trump wants to keep some of the records from his term in office sealed. Yesterday, Trump filed a lawsuit against the House Select Committee looking into the January 6th siege on the U.S. Capitol and the National Archives. The legal action, claiming executive privilege is an attempt by the former president to hinder the House Committee investigating what he did prior to, and during the insurrection. Trump’s lawsuit says the congressional request for the paperwork is “untethered from any legitimate legislative purpose”. The National Archives is expected to hand over the requested documents sometime next month.
