A District of Columbia federal judge has thrown out a Republican National Committee lawsuit which sought to block the House January 6 select committee from accessing records related to GOP fundraising emails sent in the days before the attack on the Capitol by Donald Trump supporters.
In March, the RNC filed suit against the nine-member panel after Chairman Bennie Thompson issued a subpoena to Salesforce, the owner of a digital tool the GOP uses to create and distribute fundraising emails, seeking documents and testimony “regarding whether and how the Trump campaign used Salesforce’s platform to disseminate false statements about the 2020 election” prior to the attack on the Capitol.
