President Donald Trump has reportedly asserted executive privilege to prevent his courtroom opponents from getting access to evidence in the lawsuit in which he is accused of stoking violence at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

It is unclear exactly which records Trump is aiming to keep out of the hands of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit.
However, Politico has reported that a White House spokesperson confirmed that the president has decided to fight disclosure of some material subpoenaed last year from the National Archives and Records Administration.
"The President asserted executive privilege over the discovery requests in this case because the overly broad requests demanded documents that were either presidential communications or communications among the president’s staff that are clearly constitutionally protected from discovery," the spokesperson, Abigail Jackson, said in a statement.
The police officers who filed the lawsuit say Trump’s remarks to a crowd of supporters fueled the riot that nearly derailed the transfer of power from Trump to Joe Biden.
Lawyers for the officers have complained about long delays in getting access to White House records from Trump's first term in office, which are now in the custody of the National Archives, Politico reported.

A riot that started while he was still speaking at a different location?
