“U.S. judge rules that the congressional committee probing the Jan. 6 Capitol attack can access some of Trump’s White House records, rejecting an argument by his lawyers that telephone records, visitor logs, and other documents should be hidden” Reuters reports.
UPDATE 11/9/2021 7:05 PM EST: We’re not 100% that Reuters is definitively reporting a ruling in this case because we’re not seeing it from anywhere else. It’s possible they got it confused with Judge Chutkan’s rejection of Trump’s really stupid injunction request early Tuesday.
UPDATE 11/9/2021 7:11 PM EST: Politico’s Kyle Cheney reports “Reuters may have a secret source here, but an hour later no ruling has been published and none of the parties to the case say they’ve seen it yet” so Reuters probably did fuck this up.
UPDATE 11/9/2021 9:19 PM EST: “US District Judge Tanya Chutkan denies Trump request to block National Archives from turning over White House visitor and telephone records, among other materials, to the Jan. 6 select committee. Chutkan says in ruling denying Trump the ‘public interest lies in permitting – not enjoining – the combined will of the legislative and executive branches to study the events that led to and occurred on Jan 6′” reports the Guardian’s Hugo Lowell.
