Former President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court to consider a Washington Post interview with Jan. 6 committee Chairman Bennie Thompson in his bid to stop the panel from obtaining records from his White House.

Lawyers for Trump filed a supplemental brief on Wednesday, focusing on a Dec. 23 report in which Thompson said his panel's investigation could "warrant" a recommendation to the Justice Department to pursue Capitol riot-related charges against the former president, arguing the select committee is overreaching its authority.

“The Washington Post has confirmed what was already apparent — the Committee is indeed seeking any excuse to refer a political rival for criminal charges, and they are using this investigation to do so,” wrote Trump lawyer Jesse Binnall.

TRUMP SUSPECTED OF MAKING 'SEVERAL' TAPES OF CAPITOL RIOT RESPONSE

The committee is acting as “an inquisitorial tribunal seeking evidence of criminal activity,” which is “outside of any of Congress’s legislative powers," Binnall added.

Trump's legal team, which is arguing the records are protected by executive privilege despite President Joe Biden refusing to assert it, previously made similar arguments that were rejected by a U.S. district judge and appeals court.

"The mere prospect that misconduct might be exposed does not make the Committee's request prosecutorial," the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit said. "Missteps and misbehavior are common fodder for legislation."

The House and Biden administration are expected to file responses to Trump's request Thursday, according to CNN.
