As Donald Trump seeks to keep his White House records locked away from investigators, the Jan. 6 Committee has asked the Supreme Court to not even consider Trump’s lawsuit, calling it a delay tactic

The House committee is trying to halt that, asking the Supreme Court to reject review—or at least speed it up as much as possible by considering the case during its next session in February.branches, delay a co-equal branch’s urgent investigation into an unprecedented assault on Congress itself, and require this Court to wade into factual determinations that do not warrant its review and that are eminently correct in any event,” the committee lawyers wrote in their filing.

The entire fight is over Trump’s refusal to let a congressional committee access certain White House records. Investigators want to look over memos, calendar entries, photos, and videos that would shed light on Trump’s Jan. 6 speech near the presidential mansion in which he told a crowd to march on the Capitol building—and pressured Vice President Mike Pence to halt certifying Biden’s legitimate election victory in 2020.

Investigators also plan to review private communications between Trump and his advisers “relating to the transfer of power and obligation to follow the rule of law,” as well as suspicious, last-minute personnel changes that appeared to show Trump prepping for a coup. While legal scholars overwhelmingly say Trump has no case, politics may play a role. A third of the nine-justice court was appointed by Trump himself.

The committee has not shied away from noting the seriousness of its investigation in the Supreme Court filing, calling the violent mob’s actions “the most significant assault on the Capitol since the War of 1812.”

It is a delay tactic. That's what T does then he settles. It's his negotiation style. Question is can he settle with the Jan.6 Committee?

That is what Trump is good at delay/that is why the committee must work 24 hours a day no vacations. This is much too important to the country to allow Trump any wiggle room.
