Press sec. Psaki says there's 'nothing political' about decision to decline former Pres. Trump's request to withhold records relating to Jan. 6 insurrection.
On Jan. 6, rioters coming from a pro-Trump rally broke into the U.S. Capitol, resulting in deaths, injuries, arrests and vandalism.Many of the 11 individuals linked to the pro-Trump rally that preceded the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol are expected to comply with the House select committee's investigation into the insurrection, while other top Trump associates are expected to attempt to rebuff the committee's requests, sources with direct knowledge tell ABC News.
Lyndon Brentnall, the owner of RMS Protective Services, the Florida-based private security firm listed on the National Park Service permit for the rally, and the only individual contacted by the committee to respond on the record, told ABC News,"I have every intention of complying with the House select committee subpoena.
Investigators asked all four to respond to their request for documents by midnight on Oct. 7. Sources close to those individuals expect them to formally rebuff the requests, though plans were still in the process of being finalized Thursday morning. In an interview this week with right-wing commentator John Solomon, Trump indicated that he would have no problem with his confidants participating in the probe, and questioned why his lawyers were instructing him to invoke executive privilege as it relates to their testimony.
