U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan: “The President is not the King, and the Plaintiff is not the President.”
President Joe Biden has allowed the archives to comply with the committee’s requirements, effectively waiving any requirements for administrative privileges. But Trump opposed, arguing that he still wanted to claim privileges on the record and took the committee to court.
But Judge Chatkham found that, as the former president, Trump has no right to veto Biden’s decision in this matter.
Very satisfying, especially Chutkan’s perfect insult to the most powerless.
However, I keep reading that this is the “victory” of the committee investigating the firing of the Trump mob on the U.S. Capitol on January 6. But this is a way of victory, that is to say, it is a kind of “victory” that the lawsuit is not dismissed hastily. Frankly speaking, the person who said it didn’t know what it was like to win. When the documents were revealed and proved guilty, and he did not get away by chance, it was “victory.” In fact, everything else failed.
