Donald Trump’s court battles are starting to look like Sideshow Bob trying to maneuver his way round a pile of rakes. On Wednesday night, a federal judge dismissed the former president’s latest attempt to keep records from his presidency out of the hands of the congressional investigators looking into the Capitol riot—his third failed attempt in three days.
On Monday, Judge Tanya Chutkan dismissed Trump’s emergency request to stop the National Archives from passing potentially damning records to Jan. 6 investigators. On Tuesday, she ruled that the White House records should, in fact, be turned over to congressional investigators.
Then, on Wednesday night, Chutkan refused Trump’s request to stay the decision she had made just one day earlier. CNN reports the judge told Trump he can’t “do an end run around” her decisions to force a delay, and told him to turn to an appeals court if he disagrees with the decision. As it stands, the National Archives is set to send records to the House by the end of Friday.

A United States appeals court has rejected an attempt by former President Donald Trump to hold back the release of White House records linked to the deadly January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol. A three-judge panel of the US Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington, DC said on Thursday that Trump had provided “no basis” for his request. “Both branches agree that there is a unique legislative need for these documents and that they are directly relevant to the Committee’s inquiry into an attack on the legislative branch and its constitutional role in the peaceful transfer of power,” the judges wrote in their decision. “The Committee is investigating a singular event in this nation’s history, in which there is a sufficient factual predicate for inferring that former President Trump and his advisors played a materially relevant role.” The former Republican president had tried to exert “executive privilege” to block the release of the documents to a US House of Representatives committee investigating the Capitol riot. But Joe Biden’s administration in October rejected that argument, prompting Trump to file a legal challenge. Trump adviser Bannon turns himself in to face contempt charges On January 6, a mob of Trump supporters overran the seat of the US legislature as Congress was meeting to certify Biden’s election victory. Trump, who delivered an incendiary speech just before the riot and had for weeks repeated false claims that the presidential election was stolen from him, was later impeached for “incitement of insurrection”.

He believes Budowich’s lawsuit has committee members questioning, “what exactly is he
