WASHINGTON, (Reuters) – Former President Donald Trump wants to prevent Jan. 6 investigators seeing hundreds of pages White House documents including his handwritten notes and phone logs. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration informed a court on Friday.

As part of an investigation into Trump’s Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, a congressional panel asked the National Archives to provide nearly 1,600 pages.

Trump however has requested that approximately 760 pages of the document be withheld. This was stated by the National Archives in an filing to the U.S. District Court for District of Columbia.

Former president argues that White House documents must be kept secret as normal and the congressional panel that includes Trump’s critics, from both the Democratic and Republican, should follow the same rules.

However, President Joe Biden has decided to waive the secrecy restrictions and said it was in America’s best interest to learn about Trump’s involvement in his attempt to defeat Biden in November 2020’s presidential election.

Trump encouraged his supporters to go to the Jan. 6 rally and said it would be “wild.” Trump then encouraged his supporters to attend a Jan. 6 rally, telling them it would be “wild.” He also claimed that he had lost the election due to fraud. Shortly thereafter, supporters stormed the Capitol trying to block lawmakers from declaring Biden’s win. On the day of violence, four people were killed. One was shot by police while the others died from natural causes.

Trump was impeached by the Democratic-controlled House for inciting rebellion. Later, he was acquitted by the U.S. Senate.

Trump would like to keep records from the investigators including “daily presidential diaries”, schedules, appointments, White House visits, and activity logs ()”call logs” as per the National Archives Court Filing.

According to the filing, the records may shed light on “what was happening at the White House immediately prior, during, and after January 6th attack.”

Trump wants to also block documents stored in Kayleigh McEnany’s binders.

To hear Trump’s executive privilege claim, a Nov. 4 hearing is scheduled.
