The lawsuit comes as the committee is poised to vote on whether to hold former Trump advisor Steve Bannon in contempt.
Former president Donald Trump speaks to supporters during a rally at the Iowa State Fairgrounds on Oct. 9, 2021 in Des Moines.
The case represents the former president’s latest, and arguably most formal, attack on the Jan. 6 investigation so far. He previously had instructed several former top advisors to defy subpoenas issued by the committee; Steve Bannon has refused to comply and the committee is set to vote Tuesday on whether to hold him in criminal contempt.
Unless a court intervenes, the archives are set to produce the documents to the committee by Nov. 12, according to the lawsuit. Trump’s case is filed in federal district court in Washington, DC.in July 2020 that revived a fight between Democrats in Congress and Trump over a subpoena for his personal financial records; the majority held that lower courts had to give more weight to the separation of powers concerns at stake.
Binnall is representing Trump against civil lawsuits filed by congressional Democrats and US Capitol Police officers accusing him of conspiring to incite the Jan. 6 riots.
