He said that the documents requested by the Committee include an extremely wide range of documents and records, possibly millions, including those by the president; Administrative privileges & rdquo; Protected information.
Trump added: & ldquo; If the committee insists on requesting other privileged information, I will take all necessary and appropriate actions to defend the president's responsibility& rdquo;

But the White House did not buy Trump's request. As early as the press briefing on September 24, White House press secretary Jane & middot; Jen psaki once stressed: & ldquo; The president has concluded that it is inappropriate to advocate administrative privileges& rdquo;
In a letter to the national archives, white house legal adviser Dana Remus also said: & ldquo; President Biden has determined that claiming administrative privileges is not in the best interests of the United States, so it is improper to (detain) these documents& rdquo;
On the 8th local time, pusaki once again made it clear that Biden rejected Trump's administrative privileges on the relevant documents. At the press briefing, pusaki said: & ldquo; The president has determined that (trump) has no reason to claim administrative privileges for the first set of documents provided by the national archives to our trump government& rdquo;
“ As we said before, this will be an ongoing process, and this is only the first batch of documents& rdquo; Pusaki said, & ldquo; We will assess the issue of privileges on a case by case basis, but the president also made it clear that he believes it is essential for Congress and the American people to fully understand the events of the day in order to prevent them from happening again& rdquo;
The United States Capitol. Figure self Vision China
On June 30, the US House of Representatives controlled by the Democratic Party decided to set up a special committee to investigate the riots on Capitol Hill on January 6. In September, the special committee of the house of Representatives summoned four former advisers of the trump administration, including mark middot, who served as the White House chief of staff of the trump administration; Mark meadows and Steve middot, White House adviser to the trump administration; Steve Bannon, former acting defense chief KASH & middot; KASH Patel and Dan middot, the former White House deputy chief of staff in charge of communications; Dan Scavino. However, according to the Washington Post, these four people have received Trump's warning and asked them not to cooperate with the house investigation.
September 18, USA & ldquo; Alternative right wing & rdquo; Trump supporters gathered again in Washington, D.C. to support the demonstrators arrested during the Capitol demonstration on January 6. The U.S. police are ready for this, sending 100 national guards on standby.
On October 7, the US Senate Judiciary Committee released a 394 page investigation report detailing how trump and senior lawyers of the Department of justice tried to & ldquo; Subversion & rdquo; The Department of justice overturned the results of the 2020 U.S. presidential election. According to the report, trump wanted to remove then acting attorney general Rosen on January 3 and let Jeffrey & middot, a lawyer of the Ministry of justice who supported the theory of election fraud; Jeffrey Clark took over to overturn his election defeat.
However, Republicans are still defending trump, saying that trump has great doubts about the neutrality of the Department of justice and the FBI. Since trump has long distrusted the FBI's handling of the 2016 election, & ldquo; This suspicion is reasonable to him;.
Under U.S. federal law, the former president may require the current president to retain any documents created by previous governments, which are kept by the national archives. At present, trump can still protect his documents by suing relevant institutions, but there is not much time left for him. American legal expert Deborah & middot; Deborah pEARlSTEiN said: & ldquo; This is not impossible, but time is pressing. If the former president and his team have ideas, we will soon see action. Sooner rather than later& rdquo;
