The last few months have been nothing short of distressing for the former president, Donald Trump, as the house committee made demands for records of White House happenings related to the January 6 Capitol insurrection.
Trump had filed a lawsuit against the transmission of the White House records to the panel investigating the attack. He felt the request was vague and the panel had no grounds to ask for such elaborative documents which are unrelated to the incident.
Biden however refused to assert executive privilege as he believed it went against what he stands for and was not in the best interests of America.
The dispute between the already staunch rivals has inflamed further after Biden’s refusal as Trump has been accusing the current presidency of acting against the constitution for not complying with his requests.

Us District Court Rules in Favor of Select Committee Defying Trump’s Requests
The decision has finally been made and despite Trump’s attempts to shield the documents, US district judge Tanya Chutkan has ruled that the requested White House records be released to the select house committee for the January 6 probe.
The decision was passed on Tuesday and the National Archives will have to start releasing the White House records requested by the Committee by Friday. Trump’s attorneys have vowed however to apply for a reversal for the ruling at the earliest.
White House Records Requested by the House Select Committee Will Be Permitted
Chutkan nevertheless put Trump in his place making a blow at his vexatious nature as she said that presidents are not kings and the court of law doesn’t discriminate against plaintiffs as they all are judged on the same standards.
Chutkan further added in her 39-page opinion that the court believes public interest lies in the truth and thereby permitting the House Committee to study the White House records for the January 6 probe instead of prohibiting it is the right call for action.

The white house records including everything from call logs, secretary notes, inventories, video recordings of Trump talking about the incident, any visitors to the white house, and all related documents will be accessible to the house committee and prove to be a significant aid for investigating the true nature and motives behind the incited mob riot.
All the data that the committee wants to access also includes videotaping of Trump asking his aggravated supporters to return to their homes but also appreciating them by saying they’re very special and are loved.

It was reported by Good Morning America that the videotaping that was aired was after a lot of previously rejected takes as Trump continued to acknowledge the uprising praising his supporters for coming out and failing to ask them to leave.
The national archives have reported that Trump had invoked executive privilege of almost 750 pages of the requested documents by the select house committee about the 2020 elections and the Capitol 6 attack by rallies of Trump’s violent supporters.

After Biden’s administration waived executive privilege Trump had sued the National Archives and the investigation panel in attempts to terminate the release of documents.
The select committee has subpoenaed Trump associates who undermined the 2020 election’s legitimacy along with issuing recent 10 new subpoenas including press secretary Kayleigh McEnany.
The insurrection resulted in five casualties with 140 people who were injured and the White House records will be a crucial indicator of exactly to what extent was the former President involved in the rebellion to reclaim America and if he had any prior knowledge of the January 6 happenings.
Whether it was planned or Trump knew about it is still uncertain but the investigation after the White House records are released to the select committee will reveal the truth behind the attack.
