Politico reports that a federal appeals court panel has rejected claims of executive privilege made by Donald Trump on material and communications sought by the House select committee investigating the January 6th domestic terrorist attack on the Capitol.
“We have one president at a time under our constitution,” said Patricia Millett, one of the three judges on the D.C. Circuit panel that heard arguments Tuesday in the high-profile fight. “That incumbent president … has made the judgment and is best positioned, as the Supreme Court has told us, to make that call as to the interests of the executive branch.”
Trump and his minions having employed a delaying tactic in their efforts to block investigation into the Trump cabal’s actions to coordinate and capitalize on the violence brought by hundreds of Trump supporters who attack Congress to delay the count of Electoral College delegates.
