Trump Bid to Shield Records from His Presidency Turned down by U.S. Appeals Court

A U.S. appeals court on Thursday turned down a bid by former President Donald Trump to shield records from his presidency sought by a House of Representatives panel probing the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol.

President Joe Biden waived executive privilege over the records.

“On the record before us, former President Trump has provided no basis for this court to override President Biden’s judgment and the agreement and accommodations worked out between the political branches over these documents,” Judge Patricia Millet, an Obama nominee, wrote on behalf of a three-judge panel.
