BREAKING Judge Tanya Chutkan has rejected Donald Trump's effort to block the Jan. 6 committee from accessing his White House records, determining that Biden's decision to release them is more significant.

"Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President," she writes.
The ruling is a significant victory for the Jan. 6 committee's effort to peer into Trump's mindset as he stoked false claimed about voter fraud and sougth to delegitimize the outcome of the 2020 election.

Trump has already appealed.

BREAKING: The Jan. 6 committee has issued another 10 subpoenas:

-Stephen Miller
-Kayleigh McEnany
-Johnny McEntee
-Ben Williamson
-Keith Kellogg
-Nick Luna
-Christopher Liddell
-Molly Michael
-Cassidy Hutchinson
-Kenneth Klukowski

Story TK w/ @woodruffbets
@woodruffbets MCENTEE's role here may be the most far-reaching. He helped Trump try to purge disloyal aides after the Nov. 3 election.

His deposition is scheduled for Dec. 15 — the latest of all the requests. Miller is scheduled for Dec. 14, and McEnany Dec. 3.

@woodruffbets Williamson is the figure who will hit closest to home on Capitol Hill. He was Meadows' right-hand / press secretary in Congress and followed his boss to the White House. politico.com/news/2021/11/0…

UPDATE: Jan. 6 committee Chairman Bennie Thompson tells me contempt is “on the table” after former Trump DOJ official Jeffrey Clark declined to answer questions during a brief deposition.

Clark claimed a mix of executive/attorney privileges.

politico.com/news/2021/11/0…
The Jan. 6 committee will discuss the matter later today and decide on a course of action, he said. politico.com/news/2021/11/0…

HAPPENING NOW: Trump lawyers are arguing in court to block Congress' access to information about his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

More on Chutkan's important role in the Jan. 6 investigation>>>

politico.com/news/2021/11/0…
CHUTKAN is incredulous that Trump is saying there's no legitiamte legisaltive purpose behind the Jan. 6 committee's probe.

The attack, she says, occurred in "literally Congress' house."
CHUTKAN also says Biden's decision to waive privilege carries more weight than Trump, a former president's, attempt to assert it.

"The person best able to determine whether there’s an executive privilege is the current executive," she says.

NEW: Two federal judges are poised to help Congress access troves of crucial Jan. 6 evidence.

A look at how Beryl Howell and Tanya Chutkan have used their courtroom to shape the public’s understanding of the insurrection.

politico.com/news/2021/11/0…
Howell, a longtime aide to Sen. Patrick Leahy on the Senate Judiciary Committee, has channeled the outrage felt by many on Capitol Hill. And she’s encouraged convicted Jan. 6 rioters to cooperate with House investigators.

Several already have. politico.com/news/2021/11/0…
Chutkan’s biggest moment comes today, when she hears Donald Trump’s lawsuit to stop Congress from accessing his White House records. Her ruling there could help unlock reams of sensitive new evidence. politico.com/news/2021/11/0…
