Both the House of Representatives and the Biden administration asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to deny former President Donald Trump's attempt to keep secret more than 700 pages of records that pertain to January 6.
RELATED: Why the new legal attack from Trump allies against the House January 6 committee is a long shotThe House select committee argues that it desperately needs the papers for its sprawling probe into the deadly insurrection, and that Trump hasn't shown how he would be harmed enough to keep the records from being released. And the Biden administration is defending its decision that White House records from January 6 shouldn't be protected by executive privilege.
'"The Justice Department also argues that the White House's recent negotiations with the House to withdraw or defer requests for some national security records show the committee has narrowed some of its requests. Previously, both the White House and the House have faced criticism for Biden's willingness to disclose records from the West Wing, and about the large amount of material the committee is pursuing.
