.MaddowBlog: Two weeks ago, former President Trump said he has 'nothing to hide' about Jan. 6. Today, he asked the Supreme Court to help him hide Jan. 6 materials.
: President Joe Biden and his team concluded that there are"unique and extraordinary circumstances" surrounding the insurrectionist attack on the Capitol.
Trump and his team sued both the committee and the National Archives, which houses presidential records.the Republican, reminding him,"Presidents are not kings." Two weeks ago, a unanimous federal appeals court came to the same conclusion., the ruling was unsparing in its rejection of the former president's arguments.
"He offers instead only a grab-bag of objections that simply assert without elaboration his superior assessment of Executive Branch interests, insists that Congress and the Committee have no legitimate legislative interest in an attack on the Capitol, and impugns the motives of President Biden and the House. That falls far short of meeting his burden and makes it impossible for this court to find any likelihood of success.
Whether the Supreme Court will take up the case — and how quickly the justices might consider the appeal — remains to be seen. The district and circuit courts considered the matter on an expedited basis, but there's no guarantee that the justices would care about the time constraints on the congressional investigation.
If, on the other hand, the Supreme Court doesn't agree to hear the case, the former president will have effectively run out of options.
