Like the skepticism you hear now, Donald Trump really doesn’t want people to know what exactly he was reaching for on January 6, 2021, probably because it was really so bad for him. We know he feels this way because he responds to select Committee members investigating the events of the day like a confined pigeonfrantically flapping his wings, shitting everywhere; because his lawyer ordered at least four of his deficiencies to obstruct justice; and because he insisted that any and all documents detailing what he had done before, during, and after the Capitol attack should remain under lock and key. In a letter sent to the National Archives on Friday, Trump wrote that the records sought by the committee contain information protected by the executive and other privileges, including but not limited to presidential communications, the consultation process, and attorney-client privileges, who added that he would assert the same privileges in the case of any future requests.
Only, as Trump may know or not, he is no longer president, and therefore he has no executive power to assert. Instead, there is a new president in the White House, and that person? It is said that the documents will go to Congress!
Per The Washington Post:
President [Joe] Biden denied former president Donald Trumps a request to block documents from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, the White House said on Friday, which likely began legal and political fight. Trump claimed executive privilege in a desire to avoid committees ’demands for details about the activities of Trump and his aides during the Jan. 6 attack. But in a letter to the National Archives and Records Administration, the White House said Biden determined that an assertion of executive privilege was not in the best interests of the United States.
At a briefing at the White House, press secretary Jen Psaki said Biden’s decision reflected the gravity of the attack. Presidents are committed to making sure something like this can never happen again, which is why the administration is cooperating with the ongoing investigation, Psaki said. The president determined that an assertion of executive privilege was not guaranteed for the first set of documents from the Trump White House provided to us by the National Archives.
Bidens’ decision came after Trump told four former advisers, according to Politico, not to comply with congressional subpoenas, and former White House strategist Stephen Bannon told the committee he was not responding to requests. its for documents. According to the Post, former chief of staff Mark Meadows and national security aide Kash Patel are said to be in contact with the committee, despite President Trumps ’requests. While Mr. Meadows and Mr. Patel, for now, are in contact with the Select Committee, Mr. Bannon has indicated that he will try to hide behind vague references to the former President’s privileges, committee leaders said. in a statement released Friday. The committee added that it is considering holding Bannon in criminal contempt. (For his part, Bannon knows very little about the operation of the law. In August 2020, he was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money launder for alleged fraud on thousands of donation to the border-wall.He pleaded not guilty and, naturally, was pardoned by Trump before going to trial.Separately, in November 2020, Bannon was permanently initiated by Twitter after being proposed to Dr. Anthony Fauci and FBI director Christopher Wray to be beheaded.)
Bidens ’decision triggers at least a 30 -day window for Trump to challenge the court call before releasing the documents, which he no doubt will. On the hill, members of the committee investigating the insurgency promised to take a hard line on anyone who refused to cooperate with the probe. This is a matter of utmost seriousness, and we need to consider the full panoply of enforcement sanctions available to us, Rep. Said. Jamie Raskin. And that means citations of criminal contempt, citations of civil contempt and the use of Congresses possessing the inherent powers of contempt.

Nothing to see here, just the Trumps company getting more favorable treatment up to tens of millions of dollars from Deutsche Bank while he was president
The kind of kind is like the kind of thing a president would try to avoid because it looks so corrupt but not this person! Per The Washington Post:
