What are the responsibilities in the assault on the Capitol? A court authorized Thursday, December 9 the transfer to Congress of documents that could implicate Donald Trump in the January 6 attack on the Capitol. This decision paves the way for the transmission of hundreds of documents to a parliamentary committee tasked with shedding light on the role of the former Republican president in this assault.
The court, however, leaves him fourteen days to appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. His spokesperson immediately let it be known that he intended to do so. Donald Trump wants to keep these archives secret, including among others the lists of people who visited or called him that day.
This decision represents an important victory in the race against time initiated by the special committee of the House of Representatives, with a Democratic majority. It wants at all costs to publish its conclusions before the mid-term elections, in less than a year, during which the Republicans could regain control and bury its work.
