Appeals court rejects Trumpās bid to block aides from testifying in Jan. 6 probe
Itās not immediately clear which aides were covered by the appeals court order.
A federal appeals court in Washington rejected an emergency bid by former President Donald Trump to block several top aides from testifying in the special counsel investigation of his effort to subvert the 2020 election.
In a sealed order, a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals denied Trumpās urgent demand to block his aides from being required to appear before special counsel Jack Smithās grand jury. Trumpās emergency motion triggered a frenzied set of overnight filings ahead of the Tuesday morning ruling.
Itās not immediately clear which aides were covered by the appeals court order, but Trump recently lost a bid to prevent top allies like Mark Meadows, Dan Scavino and Stephen Miller from answering questions he says should be covered by executive privilege. Trump appealed that ruling ā issued in mid-March by U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell ā last week, leading to the appeals court fight.
CNN has reported that the aides covered by Trumpās emergency order may include Meadows, Scavino, Miller and other former top Trump administration advisers like Robert OāBrien, John Ratcliffe and Ken Cuccinelli
