Biden ordered evidence against Trump be sent to Congress.

The petition was submitted to the US Supreme Court after district courts and the Washington-DC Court of Appeals had previously rejected Trump’s request and ruled that Congress had access to the documents.
In another attempt, Trump claimed that he would use “executive powers” to prevent Congress from gaining access to documents related to the attacks on Congress, and relied on a legal hypothesis that presidents and their aides could prevent Do congressional research even for decades.
However, “Jimmy B. “There is no such thing as executive power for the former president,” Raskin, a Democratic member of the congressional committee and lecturer on the constitution, told the Washington Post. “Such a thing is completely baseless and irrelevant.”
