Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday lost his appeal of a federal judge’s order requiring many of his top White House aides to testify in the Jan. 6 investigation.
A three-judge appeals court panel ruled that former chief of staff Mark Meadows and a raft of other aides must answer questions from the grand jury hearing evidence about Trump’s scheme to overturn his loss in the 2020 election.
Trump’s lawyers had asked for an emergency order Monday night to put the lower court’s order on hold while his appeal proceeds on the grounds of executive privilege.
