January 6th Cmte Chair Thompson & Vice Chair Cheney on former President Trump's lawsuit: "The former President’s clear objective is to stop the Select Committee from getting to the facts about Jan. 6th & his lawsuit is nothing more than an attempt to delay & obstruct our probe."
Thompson & Cheney: "Precedent and law are on our side. Executive privilege is not absolute and President Biden has so far declined to invoke that privilege."
Thompson & Cheney: "Additionally, there’s a long history of the White House accommodating congressional investigative requests when the public interest outweighs other concerns."
Thompson & Cheney: "It’s hard to imagine a more compelling public interest than trying to get answers about an attack on our democracy and an attempt to overturn the results of an election."
Jan. 6th Cmte Chair Thompson & Vice Chair Cheney: “The Select Committee’s authority to seek these records is clear. We’ll fight the former President’s attempt to obstruct our investigation while we continue to push ahead successfully with our probe on a number of other fronts.”
