Supreme Court officially ends Trump's recent legal fight to block document turnover
This was a dumb appeal by TFG and his weak attorneys
Link to tweet
The Supreme Court said on Tuesday that it will not take up former President Donald Trump's case challenging the disclosure of his White House documents to the House January 6 investigation, a formal conclusion to his unsuccessful bid to keep those records secret.
The court had previously rejected Trump's emergency request to block the National Archives from turning over the materials while the court considered whether to take up the case. The documents Trump was trying to block in court are already in the hands of the House Select Committee investigating January 6.
Tuesday's order -- which included no further explanation of why the court was not taking up the case -- means that the lower court decisions approving the release of the documents will stand.
The National Archives continues to process Trump-era presidential and vice-presidential records requested by the House investigation
