Biden won't assert privilege over Trump documents sought by January 6 committee

The White House has informed the National Archives that it is not asserting executive privilege on behalf of former President Donald Trump, paving the way for the Archives to share documents with the House committee investigating the January 6 violence at the US Capitol, according to a source familiar with the matter. CNN's Kaitlan Collins and Sara Murray report.

Quit THREATENING and JUST DO IT, Regular citizens aren't threatened, they're just Prosecuted

[johannabrown]

Threatening a criminal referral... JUST DO IT!!

[kevinsantich]

The mere fact that they are asking to keep these records secret is very telling....

[bobleroy]

Subpoenas are non negotiable or able to litigate. Period. Congress must have that power now. No excuses. You must comply

[lithuaniangiant]

If Bannon doesn't want to comply then let him sit in jail until he does.

[lisamoreland]

If I were subpoena by my court, they would come to my home and lock me up.

[emmanuelkyriakakis]

They can hold them in jail until they comply..

[redfin]

It's insane how rich and powerful people can just do whatever they want with no repercussions. Imagine if I had to go to court and just didn't....I would be in jail

If Bannon hasn’t got enough self respect to wash how can he expect respect from anyone else

The quicker this can be legally resolved and the truth be told once and for all, the better for our country. --Audrey in Chicago

[kevinsantich]

Innocent people always go into hiding to avoid being served a subpoena....

[sandralewis]

For someone who says he's got nothing to hide Trump sure works hard at not being open and transparent.

[outlawbillionairez]

If someone told a judge in advance that they wouldn't show up for a legal hearing, what do you think would happen?

[nk-dwhm]

Didn't Trump say that only guilty people have anything to hide?

[mamatoucan]

Remember when Bannon stole all that money for the Wall and bought that yacht?

[grantwallace]

Can somebody please teach Bannon how to wear a shirt!

[rwags]

So US lawmakers issue subpoenas and the recipients say “I think I’ll ignore it”.
WTF America!
What does this say about your justice system?
What does it say to the man in the street?

Arrest, jail and bring in front of the committee (in handcuffs if necessary) and warn them that non-compliance will result in larger fines, longer sentences.

[sandiegotrafficlightstrain]

An innocent person complies with subpoenas.
