President Biden has reportedly ordered the release of Trump White House visitation logs to the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. According to the order, the National Archives must turn over the records within 15 days.

According to The Hill:

White House counsel Dana Remus sent a letter to U.S. archivist David Ferriero dated Tuesday spelling out the White House’s view and ordering the documents turned over to the committee within 15 days “unless prohibited by court order.”

“The President has determined that an assertion of executive privilege is not in the best interests of the United States, and therefore is not justified, as to these records and portions of records,” Remus wrote.

Remus also noted that the White House’s current policy is to release visitor logs for transparency, a practice that was stopped under the Trump administration.

“The majority of the entries over which the former President has asserted executive privilege would be publicly released under current policy,” Remus wrote.

Trump may choose to seek court action to block the release of the documents to the committee, which he has attempted in the past.
