Trump's attempt to keep January 6 documents away from Congress crashes and burns in court -- again
Another day, another court loss for former President Donald Trump.
Politico's Kyle Cheney reports that Judge Tanya Chutkan has denied Trump's request for an injunction to block her earlier ruling on whether he can claim executive privilege over documents currently held by the National Archive that are related to the January 6th Capitol riots.
In the ruling, the judge noted the absurdity of Trump attorneys asking her to give them an injunction for a ruling that she just delivered one day earlier.
"This court will not effectively ignore its own reasoning in denying injunctive relief in the first place to grant injunctive relief now," she wrote.
Trump will now likely take his case to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals and, should he lose there, the United States Supreme Court.
