of donald trump. in court filings the former president s legal team argues this. i ll put it up on the screen. the limited interest the committee may have in immediately obtaining the requested records pales in comparison to president trump s interest in securing judicial review before he suffers irreparable harm. what do you think the court will make of that argument? you know, president trump has filed some frivolous lawsuits since he left office. this is not a frivolous lawsuit. this is a case he could definitely win in this supreme court. now, the four judges who have all ruled on this case so far are all democratic appointees and now he s heading to a court with six republican appointees and, you know, even chief justice john roberts who has not been ruling in donald trump s favor in many recent cases, he is someone who believes in strong executive power.
