President Joe Biden has decided not to assert executive privilege to hold back a trove of documents that the Jan. 6th select committee is seeking as part of its probe – concluding it is not in the country’s ‘best interests’ after the Capitol riot. The move, telegraphed in advance by the White House, drew an immediate and angry response from former President Donald Trump, who suggested he might sue and attacked Democrats as ‘drunk on power.’ ‘The Democrats are drunk on power, but this dangerous assault on our Constitution and important legal precedent will not work. This Committee’s fake investigation is not about January 6th any more than the Russia Hoax was about Russia. Instead, this is about using the power of the government to silence “Trump” and our Make America Great Again movement, the greatest such achievement of all time,’ Trump said in a Friday afternoon statement. The former president wrote the National Archivist on his own stationary with the presidential seal in gold – anticipating how a court might ultimately sort through the rights of current vs. former presidents.
