Federal appeals court denies Trump's emergency bid to stop ex-aides from testifying in Jan. 6 probe
Source: CNN Politics
Washington CNN Former President Donald Trumps legal team has lost a bid for emergency help from the federal appeals court in Washington, DC, to block some of his closest advisers from testifying about him to a grand jury, including former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, according to a new court filing.
Trumps team on Monday night asked for the appeals court to wipe away a lower courts ruling that would force several of his top advisers to answer questions to a grand jury investigating Trump and his allies attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, despite his claims of legal protections around his presidency that would shield some of their testimony. The appeals court denied his request on Tuesday, dealing Trump another legal setback just before he is set to enter a courtroom in Manhattan to face criminal charges in a separate investigation.
The swift decision means advisers to Trump, including Meadows, could be brought into the federal grand jury in Washington by prosecutors in the coming days. Trump would need a court to intervene in his favor in order to block their subpoenas. Overnight, a panel of three judges on the appeals court Patricia Millett, Robert Wilkins and Greg Katsas had sought a response from the Justice Department regarding Trumps request.
The Justice Department responded about two hours later. An appeal on the larger legal questions around executive privilege assertions could still live on before the appeals court, but the activity around Trumps emergency request for a stay would determine now if witnesses must comply with Justice Department subpoenas and the lower courts decision against Trump. Trumps team is unlikely to ask the Supreme Court for help, one source told CNN.
Take care.
