Former president Donald Trump filed a lawsuit on Monday against the US congressional committee investigating the deadly 6 January attack on the Capitol, alleging it made an illegal, unfounded and overbroad request for his White House records

Mr Trump asserted in the lawsuit filed in US District Court for the District of Columbia that materials sought by the 6 January Select Committee are covered by a legal doctrine known as executive privilege, which protects the confidentiality of some communications between White House officials.Many legal experts have said Mr Trump, as the former president, cannot lawfully use executive privilege to block subpoenas issued by the House committee.

Earlier this month, Mr Biden authorised the National Archives, a government agency that holds records from Trump's time in office, to turn over an initial batch of documents requested by the Select Committee.
