to the court that they are not complying with the investigation. the problem for them now, is that this ruling tonight, this is the appeals court that holds jurisdiction were both the meadows case and the sea benin case are being heard. so an appeals court ruling, on the legitimacy of the court, it s a definitive thing. that the court in that circuit have to abide by. and in this appeals court ruling tonight, to january six investigation is described us quite legitimate. it is described in this ruling as having a uniquely vital interest in carrying out the january six investigation. so to the extent that steve bannon and mark meadows say, we don t need to comply with this thing. congress is doing something that they shouldn t even be doing here. that ruling, that argument, would appear to be closed off to them. so for steve bannon, and mark meadows their path to trying to swear out of this has just gotten a lot narrow. this is a bad day for them. steve bannon is already being
injured, one officer had been attacked, died the next day. in the aftermath, workers labored to sweep up broken glass, wipe away blood, and clean feces off the walls. portions of the building s historical architecture were damaged or destroyed including, statues, murals historic benches, original shutters, and precious artwork. on june 30th, 2021, the united states has represented upgraded the committee to investigate the january 6th attack, on the united states capitol. that s kind of the old pinning set piece for the court ruling tonight, it gives you a sense of how this is likely going to go. the court and this ruling tonight, its unanimous ruling, then describes trump s efforts to resist providing materials to this investigation. the ruling describes the lawsuit for example he brought in october to try and block the investigation from obtaining his records. the court describes his
the documents from being handed over. as to what the supreme court will do, with his appeal and how fast they ll move if they do take the case, i really don t know. other federal court judges in the district court and the appeals court, in washington d.c., they have been willing to hear this on a hurry basis. a really fast basis. i think, in part, according to the rulings because the judges have recognize the urgency of this investigation. because, the seriousness of january 6th and also because the investigation will probably get kneecap if the republican take over the house and shut it down. if they win the midterm elections. i don t know if the supreme court would take up the appeal from trump, at all. if they do take it up, i don t know what kind of pace they will take it up on, or if they will be more amenable to his delay, delay, delay strategy. i don t know, what they will do. neither do you. unless some of the justices are watching right now, in which
donald trump, tonight. a surprisingly resounding defeat. this is a case about his efforts to keep records, and documents from his time in the white house, but from ending up in the hands of the january six investigation in congress. so, this was the decision tonight. this was a federal appeals court in d.c.. the district courts, circuit courts, and then the supreme court. this is a circuit court decision, an appeals court one level below the u.s. supreme court. the three judge panel on this u.s. circuit court of appeals, they ruled unitas me tonight. that the trump white house documents, do indeed have to get handed over to the january 6th investigation. they did pause the effect of this ruling for two weeks. to give, trump, the opportunity to appeal this ruling up to the supreme court if he wants to. presumably, he wants to. i think, one of the things we have learned over the last five or six years with trump as a political actor is that he sees the court system as a giant brake pedal
district court in d.c., has not been upheld unanimously, by a three judge panel at the appeal court the husker stick shun in that area. law but that s it. he has now lost twice. at the district court and the appeals court. unless trump files his appeal with the supreme court. and he takes this up on emergency basis with these documents will be handed over right before christmas eve. worth noting here on the implications. first of all, it should be noted it is a terrible ruling for steve bannon and mark meadows. steve bannon, longtime adviser to trump, run his campaign in 2016. mark meadows, his less white house chief of staff, both of these gentlemen, we think, are preparing to argue to the court themselves that they don t have to comply with this investigation themselves because it is not a proper investigation. but it seems to be one of the grounds on which steve bannon and mark meadows are justifying
