Former President Trump's lawyers told the Supreme Court that the House committee probing the Jan. 6 attack would suffer no harm if the justices delayed the transfer of Trump administration records to congressional investigators.
The bold assertion came amid an ongoing legal clash between Trump and the House panel over whether a trove of records that investigators say would shed light on the deadly Capitol riot is covered by the former president's assertion of executive privilege.
Trump's attorneys, in their latest filing, pushed back on the committee's claim that a protracted legal fight threatens to undermine its work.
"Respondents will not be harmed by delay," Trump attorneys wrote, referring to the House panel. "Despite their insistence that the investigation is urgent, more than a year has passed since January 6, 2021. Years remain before the next transition of power."
