Following high court's action, there is no legal impediment to turning over the documentsFormer U.S. president Donald Trump — seen during a rally in Florence, Ariz., last Saturday — has opposed the release of his presidential records to the congressional Jan. 6 panel.The justices on Wednesday rejected a bid by Trump to withhold the documents from the committee until the issue is finally resolved by the courts.
Following the high court's action, there is no legal impediment to turning over the documents, which are held by the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration. They include presidential diaries, visitor logs, speech drafts and handwritten notes dealing with Jan. 6, 2021, from the files of former chief of staff Mark Meadows.
The House committee agreed to defer its attempt to get some documents, at the request of the Biden White House. The current administration was concerned that releasing all of the Trump administration documents sought by the committee could compromise national security and executive privilege. Alone among the justices, Clarence Thomas said he would have granted Trump's request to keep the documents on hold.

Bring it on. While you’re at it lets see the stuff on Hunter Biden as well as Pelosi and the rest of the capital hill insider traders.
Everyone knows that the former guy is a crook but nobody seems to ever take him down.
This witchhunt is so unfair, sad really.
I bet they show that Putin was controlling President Trump. The CBC told Canada that from 2016-2019. Here is a reminder. The comments on this story are the rantings of trudeau liberal lunatics that need to be locked up. cdnpoli
Probably a bunch of receipts from McDonalds takeout!
But, but, I thought the SCOTUS was all a bunch of partisan lackeys? Oh, CBC/Leftist nonsense was wrong? AGAIN
As they should there is president. Only a sitting president has executive privilage. I think it was Nixon that was denied.
YaaaaY!!
Lock him up
LOCK HIM UP 😂😂
Finally 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉✌️
So Biden wants to withhold some docs for National Security Purposes. Is that the Old Boys Club looking after each other.
Insurrection without guns or violence....first one in history
The more the foreign useful fools barking at him, the clearer that he is people’s choice.
I've just invested in the popcorn futures market
The insurrection?!
American people could ONLY get justice through the COURTS. We knew for a fact that we can NEVER get justice through Congress & Senate because of too much politicking which Trump used for his personal gains. Courts are our last hope to protect America from self-destruction.
Love this, this is going to be great
Until something is done ✔️ to him, this is just.....talk
What is Trump so afraid of?
Get em!
What is the end game? It's so obvious what went on and we can expect the outcome to be true.. but can they really ban trump from office without causing another insurrection
Keep the focus on the guy that’s long gone so people aren’t looking at the terrible job the current guy is doing.
Oops!
Lol! Love this.
Good verdict.
