Federal judge refuses Trump request to block Jan. 6 records

yeah. New targets to help uncover who was behind the insurrection narrowing in on those closest to the former president. Donald trump the committee dropping more subpoenas today. 10 new ones including key players in the trump orbit and the time between the november election in january 6th. The biggest names longtime loyal advisor, Stephen Miller body man turned White House personnel chief johnny McEntee and former press secretary Kayleigh Mcenany Mcenany. One of the loudest voices in trump's inner circle peddling the big lie about the election results both in and outside the White House. The integrity of our election matters, the constitution of the United States matters. What we have seen across the country is democrat officials systematically trying to do an end run around the constitution to tip the scales of the election in their favor. The committee's request Tuesday come one day after they issued a batch of subpoenas to other high ranking trump officials like former campaign manager Bill Stepien and spokesman Jason Miller. The committee also wants to hear from john Eastman, the conservative lawyer who authored the memo outlining fringe legal theories about former Vice president mike Pence's authority to overturn election results. As part of a pressure campaign. We know there was fraud, traditional fraud that occurred. We know that dead people voted and former new york city Police Commissioner Bernard kerik all four of them. Stepien Miller Eastman and Carrick among those gathered at a D. C. Hotel for what is described as a war room to overturn the election carrick already warning that he does not plan to comply. I will not be threatened intimidated, forced into bankruptcy or silenced at the hands of this committee who are not looking for truth but targeting patriots and members of the President's legal team that wanted nothing more to investigate and expose those irregularities, Carrick said in a statement, his confrontational tone, an example of the difficult time the committee is having getting trump allies to cooperate, their ability to get witnesses to cooperate, hinging in part on a decision by the Department of Justice, which has yet to weigh in on a criminal contempt referral of steve Bannon, who was openly defied a committee subpoena Attorney General Merrick Garland, refusing to shed any light on how the doj plans to respond. We evaluate, uh, these in the normal way. We do facts in the law and applying the principles of prosecution.
