SCOTUS ends Trump's legal fight to block document turnover to Jan. 6 probe

The Congressional Select Committee in charge of investigating the january 6th attack on Capitol Hill is still very much in session and a recent development is their attempt to subpoena this man's phone records. Former trump, White House aide dan scavino and scavino and trump are desperately trying to stop Verizon from giving up those details. That's because as CNN reports, the former president would regularly use scavino's phone to make calls to supporters and family members. The investigation is looking at a period of time during the january 6th riot where there is a market gap in phone records for donald trump. A period of time he was known to be making calls. Sources say that scavino would quote routinely give his phone over to the president for calls with one saying the aid was key to pretty much everything. The legal battle over the phone records is ongoing, with the subpoena originally being temporarily blocked since january, meaning the select committee still doesn't have those records insider reports. This is yet another way the former president carelessly handled important records with some saying he would sometimes tear up and attempt to flush documents down the toilet. Yeah.

The Supreme Court said on Tuesday that it will not take up former President Donald Trump's case challenging the disclosure of his White House documents to the House Jan. 6 investigation, a formal conclusion to his unsuccessful bid to keep those records secret.The court had previously rejected Trump's emergency request to block the National Archives from turning over the materials while the court considered whether to take up the case.
