The House committee investigating the 6 January insurrection at the US Capitol has agreed to defer its request for hundreds of pages of records from the Trump administration, bending to the wishes of the Biden White House.

The deferral is in response to concerns that releasing all the Trump documents sought could compromise national security and executive privilege.

The former president is appealing to the supreme court to stop the National Archives and Records Administration co-operating with the committee.

The National Archives has been transmitting tranches of documents to the White House and to lawyers for Trump, who has raised broad objections and specific concerns.

A federal appeals court ruled this month against Trump, and he has filed an appeal to the supreme court, which has yet to decide whether to take up the case.

Trump also failed to show any harm that would occur from the release, Millett wrote.
