Judge Questions Trump's Grounds for Keeping Jan. 6 Documents Secret
Source: New York Times
WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Thursday expressed skepticism about Donald J. Trump’s attempt to block from release a wide range of documents related to the Capitol riot, signaling that she might be open to allowing a congressional committee scrutinizing the violence to pore over hundreds of files that the former president wants to keep secret.
At a hearing by video conference, Judge Tanya S. Chutkan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia repeatedly asked pointed questions about the legal basis for Mr. Trump’s claim that at least 770 pages of documents related to the mob attack must be shielded by executive privilege.
“The Jan. 6 riot happened in the Capitol,” Judge Chutkan told Mr. Trump’s lawyer, Justin Clark. “That is literally Congress’s house.”
Still, the judge also suggested that the House select committee investigating the attack might have overreached, referring to its demand for documents — which potentially amounts to millions of pages — as “very broad” and, at one point, “alarmingly broad.”
