Washington, Dec 23 (AFP\/APP):Former US president Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to block the release of documents to a congressional committee investigating the January 6 assault on the Capitol by his supporters.<\/p>\n

Trump asked the nation’s highest court to reverse a ruling this month by a federal appeals court which rejected his attempt to keep the White House records secret.<\/p>\n

Trump, who has been accused of fomenting the attack on Congress, is seeking to exercise his privilege as a former president to keep White House documents and phone records that might relate to the January 6 attack a secret.<\/p>\n
