The U.S. Court of Appeals for Washington, D.C., ruled against former President Donald Trump's request to block documents from the House Jan. 6 committee, offering him two weeks to petition the Supreme Court.

A three-judge panel of the appeals court upheld a lower court's opinion, contending that when there is a dispute between a current and former president over whether to release records from the White House, the standing president's assertion prevails.

"On the record before us, former President Trump has provided no basis for this court to override President Biden’s judgment and the agreement and accommodations worked out between the Political Branches over these documents," Circuit Judge Patricia Millett wrote in the 3-0 opinion.

The court will pause its ruling for two weeks to allow time for Trump to seek Supreme Court intervention.

Attorneys for the former president argued last month that a "handful of documents" should be withheld from the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, claiming executive privilege.

However, President Joe Biden has rejected Trump's claims of executive privilege, and some legal experts believe Trump is going to court to delay cooperation as long as possible.

Lawyers for the House said the committee requires the archived records "to complete a thorough investigation into how the actions of the former president, his advisers, and other government officials may have contributed to the attack on Congress to impede the peaceful transfer of presidential power."

When the committee sought records from the National Archives in August, Trump sought to block nearly 800 pages of documents.

Attorneys for the former president requested the appeals court to block the release of the documents and reverse the Nov. 9 lower court ruling against him by District Judge Tanya Chutkan.
