“Former President Donald Trump threatened to invoke executive privilege in an effort to block the House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot from obtaining a massive tranche of documents it’s demanding from several US government agencies, despite his successor having the ultimate say over whether the information can be shared,” CNN reports.
In an angry statement, Trump also called the committee “a partisan sham and a waste of taxpayer dollars.”
