Former President Donald Trump has been issued a gag order by a federal judge. This order is in response to Trump's repeated attempts to block the release of White House records to the House committee investigating the January 6th Capitol attack. The judge's decision is based on the argument that Trump's attempts to block the release of these records are not in the public interest. The gag order prevents Trump from making any further attempts to block the release of these records. However, it's important to note that this does not mean the records will be immediately released. The National Archives, which currently holds the records, has stated that it will take several weeks to process the records before they can be released.

The gag order has been met with mixed reactions. Some legal experts argue that the order is necessary to prevent further delays in the investigation. Others, however, have raised concerns about the potential implications of the order on free speech rights. Despite these concerns, the judge has maintained that the order is necessary to ensure the integrity of the investigation.

The House committee has been seeking these records as part of its investigation into the events leading up to the January 6th Capitol attack. The records include communications between Trump and his advisors, as well as other White House documents. The committee believes these records could provide crucial evidence in their investigation. However, Trump has argued that the records are protected by executive privilege, a claim that the judge has rejected.
