Supreme Court rejects Trump request to block release of records to January 6 committee

The Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected a request by former President Donald Trump to block White House records from being sent to a House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot.

The ruling, which Trump cannot appeal, sets the stage for more than 700 pages of Trump White House records to soon be sent by the National Archives to the committee, which had issued a subpoena for them.

It also represents a sharp loss for the Republican former president, given that he appointed three of the Supreme Court's six conservative justices, with none of those three indicating support for his effort. The author of Wednesday's ruling was not disclosed.
