Biden Will Likely Release Trump Info on January 6 Attack

“The White House is leaning toward releasing information to Congress about what Donald Trump and his aides were doing during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol despite the former president’s objections — a decision that could have significant political and legal ramifications,” the Washington Post reports.

“Trump has said he will cite ‘executive privilege’ to block information requests from the House select committee investigating the events of that day, banking on a legal theory that has successfully allowed presidents and their aides to avoid or delay congressional scrutiny for decades, including during the Trump administration.”

“But President Biden’s White House plans to err on the side of disclosure given the gravity of the events of Jan. 6.”
