>> don, this is the second time in 24 hours that judge tanya chutkan has ruled against former president trump in his ongoing quest to keep secret his records. now, last night chutkan ruled that as a former president trump does not have the power to keep his records secret if the current president wants them released. after that decision trump's legal team asked the same judge to bide the president time, delay the handing over of documents which is expected to begin on friday. not surprisingly, judge chutkan denied that. we know, as you said, trump is expected to appeal her overall decision. he now has the opportunity not only to appeal it, but to ask the appellate court to put the pause on the handing over of these documents. it's a national archives that has his documents. they inherited them after he left office. right now they are scheduled to begin handing over these documents on friday to the house select committee investigating january 6th unless, of course, a court orders a delay. >> so trump's next move, he had to ask this judge, right, and that was the part of the protocol. now

judge tanya chutkan, donald trump is no longer president.is wishes can't overrule the current president. >> nor a king. he is neither/nor. it's an important principle. it's interesting when judges use language like that. i've read a million opinions in my day, and many of them are technocratic and arcane and are not readably understandable to the lay public and twists and turns of statutory interpretation. when a judge speaks like that and uses language that is sort of ringing about the nature of american democracy and that presidents are not kings, she is speaking not just to the parties in the case, she is speaking to the public and she is speaking to history. and that shows you how strongly she felt about this matter. >> the judge also said again, privilege exists for the benefit of the republic, as you are just pointing out here, and it's not tied to any one individual. the judge is knocking down any attempts of trump to protect himself out of secrecy. >> look, it is not crazy, just to clarify some things. what the court found was it agr

judge tanya chutkan wrote in her order, the court will not effectively ignore its own reasoning in denying injunctive relief in the first place to grant injunctive relief now. i have just been handed her six-page opinion and order here, which i will be reading during the next commercial break. paul butler and i are going to discuss this. we'll get his reading of this. he will have time to read this, and we are also covering what is happening in the prosecution of the people who attacked the capitol. earlier today a federal judge gave the longest sentence, the longest sentence yet to a defendant pleading guilty to attacking the capitol on january 6th. the prosecutors are now asking for an even longer sentence for the person who they are calling in their legal memos, quote, the public face of the capitol riot. that's jacob chansley, who is one of 120 defendants who have already pleaded guilty, a total of approximately 675 defendants have been charged in the attack on the capitol. jacob chansley's lawyer in a sentencing memo told the judge that jacob chansley has, quote, mental health vulnera

. >> reporter: in a 39-page ruling, judge tanya chutkan wrote that mr. trump's position appears to be premised on the notion that his executive power exists in perpetuity. but presidents are not kings, and plaintiff is not president. mr. trump's spokesperson said, "this is a battle to defend executive privilege for presidents past, present, and future." [ chants ] the bipartisan committee is looking into the actions by the trump white house leading up to and during the deadly riot. >> we're getting information from all sorts of sources. so no one individual is going to be able to frustrate our capacity to proceed. >> reporter: ten new subpoenas were sent out yesterday to high-ranking staff of the trump administration including ones to former white house press secretary kaleigh mcenany and senior adviser steven miller. >> what i'll say is this -- it's just an attempt -- and you know this as well as anybody -- to distract from the horrific failures of the biden presidency. >> reporter: last month the house voted to hold former white house adviser steve ban

judge tanya chutkan said, "presidents are not kings, and trump is not president." the national archives is expected to release the documents beginning on friday. and the oklahoma supreme court has overturned a historic 2019 ruling against johnson & johnson, which ordered the company to pay $465 million for its role in fueling oklahoma's opioid crisis. the court said the state's public nuisance law could not be applied to j&j's deceptive marketing practices. oklahoma's attorney general indicated his office may seek to challenge the ruling. and those are some of the headlines. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman in new york, joined by my co-host juan gonzÁlez in new brunswick, new jersey. hi, juan. juan: hi, amy. welcome to all of our listeners and viewers from around the country and around the world. amy: we begin today's show in glasgow at the u.n. climate summit. earlier today, dropped agreement was released calling on nations to strengthen their climate plans and to accelerate e phasing out of coal as well as subsid

the judge's name is tanya chutkan. you read part of it. here's another part. it says "the court notes that the select committee reasonably could find it necessary to investigate the extent of which the january 6th attack on the capitol may have been an outgrowth of a sustained effort to overturn the 2020 election results involving individuals both in and outside the government," andrew. does that speak to intent? >> i think it does. and i think it's a really interesting reflection. i'm not suggesting this was intentional. but when we read that tonight, thinking about the subpoenas that we saw issued earlier today and of course yesterday, that's exactly what you're looking at here. ryan referred to it as the committee is casting a wide net. i think they absolutely are. i think they're not just investigating january 6th and who walked down the street and who broke a window with a flagpole. they're investigating the potential conspiracy that led up to january 6th. january 6th and the insurrection was maybe the crowning event, but they're investigating the possibi
