US: Court rejects Trump’s request for a ban

WASHINGTON, 10 November 2021, (TON): A federal court in the District of Columbia on Tuesday rejected a request from lawyers for former US President Donald Trump to temporarily ban the disclosure of archival documents as part of an investigation into the storming of Congress on January 6, pending the completion of the main proceedings on the matter.

The corresponding document was posted in the electronic database of the court.

The judge dismissed the request as “premature”. She stressed that anyway, she will soon make her final decision on whether these documents can in principle be disclosed.

She explained “the court intends to promptly make a decision on this issue.”

The disclosure of documents relating to the act-ions of Trump and his aides in connection with the events of January 6 and at the disposal of the US National Archives was previously requested by a special committee of the US House of Representatives, which is investigating the storming of the Capitol.
