Trump Sues Jan. 6th Committee Over Records Request: The lengthy nature of the fight could keep the committee from tainting the 2022 midterms.


There was never any doubt that Donald Trump would be looking to stifle Nancy Pelosi’s select committee on January 6th, but his latest legal maneuvering has come as a bit of a surprise, if for no other reason than its swiftness.

Trump, like many Republicans, is likely of the impression that the select committee is looking to do little more than have a rerun of his second impeachment trial, this time attempting to conjure an ending that isn’t nearly as benign for the former President.  And, judging by the targeted subpoenas that we’ve seen thus far, he’s right on the money.

And that’s why Trump is taking a litigious slant early, attempting to limit just what sort of White House documents Pelosi can get her hands on.
