National Archives poised to release more Trump documents to January 6 committee

The National Archives is poised to turn over yet another batch of documents to the House's investigation into the January 6 insurrection, according to a new set of letters released by the agency on Wednesday.
The document release contains up to 23,000 emails and attachments and is the eighth collection for the Archives to process for the House select committee's investigation. Former President Donald Trump, in a letter to the Archives in March, said he wanted to potentially claim executive privilege related to some of the documents in the collection.
But the Archives said on Wednesday they would not hold back records Trump wants to keep secret from the House investigators.
This set of documents -- following of hundreds of others the House select committee has gathered in its investigation -- will arrive as Capitol Hill prepares for the beginning of public hearings about Trump and January 6. The Biden administration has repeatedly supported releasing January 6-related records around the presidency so there is a "full accounting" of the insurrection, according to the White House counsel's office -- a potentially pivotal position for the investigation and for future administrations.

I mean, tens of thousands items of communique and we know nothing about what was in them.

(21,337 posts)Mueller didn't follow the money because he believed SDNY was on that.
Mueller indicted or got guilty pleas from 34 people and 3 companies.
Mueller laid the ground work to prosecute Trump for obstruction of justice and for "individual one."
Justice matters.
