The Biden White House has reportedly reached an agreement with the House Select Committee to shield some Trump-era documents from the panel.

According to The Hill:

While the Biden White House has mostly rejected executive privilege requests and turned Trump-era documents over to the panel, the White House counsel’s office argued in a letter dated Dec. 16 that certain documents do not apply to the investigation and should remain protected.

“President Biden recognizes that Congress has a compelling need, in service of its legislative functions, to understand the circumstances that led to the insurrection that took place on January 6, and the extraordinary events surrounding it, in order to ensure nothing similar ever happens again,” White House deputy counsel Jonathan Su wrote in the four-page letter.

“The documents for which the Select Committee has agreed to withdraw or defer its request do not appear to bear on the White House’s preparations for or response to the events of January 6, or on efforts to overturn the election or otherwise obstruct the peaceful transfer of power,” Su added, arguing that shielding those documents should not impede the committee’s investigation.

Many of the documents the committee will defer its request on either don’t pertain to the insurrection or involve deliberations by the National Security Council. If the latter were released to the committee, it could set a precedent for future administrations that could compromise presidential decisionmaking, the counsel’s office argued.

The House panel previously requested thousands of pages of documents from the National Archives related to the Trump administration. Last week, Trump asked the Supreme Court to block the panel’s records request.
