Donald Trump Refuses to Comply with Jan. 6 Committee Demand to Reveal Presidential Secret Communications
 [TRENDINGPOLITICS] Donald Trump...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... will not comply. That is the former president’s message to sweeping demands from the partisan Jan. 6 committee for privileged White House communications with his staff members and media contacts prior to the Jan. 6 events. "Executive privilege will be defended, not just on behalf of my Administration and the Patriots who worked beside me, but on behalf of the Office of the President of the United States and the future of our Nation," Trump said in a statement. The 45th president also has choice words for the Pelosi-led effort to publicly reveal his presidential and personal communications, which have long been considered legally protected under executive privilege. "The Leftist ’select committee’ has further exposed itself as a partisan sham and waste of taxpayer dollars with a request that’s timed to distract Americans from historic and global catastrophes brought on by the failures of Joe The Big GuyBiden  ...46th president of the U.S. I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass.Don't say he didn't warn us... and the Democrats," Trump also said in the statement. "Unfortunately, this partisan exercise is being performed at the expense of long-standing legal principles of privilege."
