They want to see potentially draft speeches, talking points, memos with possible legal strategies.

You know, the House panel says that its reasoning for going after the then-president is because they say that he, quote, "helped foment the breakdown in the rule of law."

They've issued a round of almost two dozen subpoenas of people close to the former president, wanting them to testify.

Yeah. The judge, Tanya Chutkan, noted that she agreed with congressional investigators who say that discovering and coming to terms with the causes underlying the January 6 attack is a matter of unsurpassed public importance

嗯。法官坦尼娅·丘特坎指出，她同意国会调查人员的说法，即发现1月6日袭击事件的原因并与之达成协议，对公众来说具有无与伦比的重要性，

Now, Trump had sued the National Archives to try and shield these records, keep them out of the public eye.

And, you know, Joe Biden, though, the current president, decided not to assert executive privilege,

and the judge punctuated that in her ruling, saying presidents are not kings, and the plaintiff is not president.

法官在她的裁决中强调了这一点，称总统不是国王，原告也不是总统。

And the timeline here - we could see records released to Congress as soon as Friday.

Trump's team, as we have noted, says it's appealing. So where could this go?

正如我们已经注意到的，特朗普的团队表示这很有吸引力。那么这会走向何方呢？

Well, you know, he is trying to keep the record secret, at least until the U.S. Court of Appeals can weigh in.

嗯，你知道，他试图对记录保密，至少在美国上诉法院介入之前是这样。

So it might not be released as soon as Friday.

And, you know, as we said, some of Trump's former advisers - not cooperating.

正如我们所说，特朗普的一些前顾问不合作。

And there's possibility they could delay things past the midterm elections, believing Republicans are likely to win the House and end this investigation.

他们可能会将事情推迟到中期选举之后，因为他们认为共和党人很可能赢得众议院并结束这项调查。
