Some have also pointed out that the DOJ’s move is a departure from the previous administration’s practice of fighting congressional requests for information. Under Trump, the DOJ had repeatedly sought to block congressional investigations, claiming executive privilege or other legal justifications.
The Biden administration, on the other hand, has taken a more cooperative approach, allowing several requests for information to proceed without obstruction. This has raised hopes among Democrats that they will be able to uncover evidence of wrongdoing by the former president.
The revelation also highlights the ongoing political divide between Democrats and Republicans over Trump’s legacy. While Democrats have been pushing for investigations into the former president’s actions, many Republicans have sought to downplay or dismiss such efforts as partisan attacks.
