President Biden rejected former president Donald Trump’s request to block documents from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, the White House said on Friday, likely setting up a legal and political battle.

Trump has claimed executive privilege in seeking to evade the committee’s demands for details about Trump and his aides’ activities during the Jan. 6 attack. But in the letter to the National Archives and Records Administration, the White House said Biden “determined that an assertion of executive privilege is not in the best interests of the United States.”

Trump responded with a letter of his own Friday that formally claimed executive privilege over about 50 documents requested by the select committee.

At a White House briefing, press secretary Jen Psaki said the Biden decision reflected the gravity of the attack.
