News Alert: Federal appeals court pauses release of Trump White House records ahead of Friday deadline
  A federal appeals court has granted former President Donald Trump's request to pause the release of documents to the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol. Trump had asked the appellate court to briefly stop the release of key White House records from his presidency while he appeals a lower court's decision that he can't claim executive privilege to keep them secret. The filing was a last-ditch effort ahead of a Friday 6 p.m. ET deadline for the House committee investigating the Capitol attack to receive 46 records, including White House call logs, visitor logs, drafts of speeches and three handwritten memos from Trump's then-chief of staff Mark Meadows.
