周三，前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)与1月6日国会大厦袭击有关的活动的白宫记录之争加剧，因为美国总统乔·拜登(Joe Biden)正式拒绝了特朗普的说法，即这些文件应被屏蔽，不得向调查叛乱的众议院特别委员会公布。
在给国家档案馆的一封信中，白宫法律顾问办公室表示，拜登总统正在“指示”该机构遵守众议院特别委员会对记录的要求。
“总统(拜登)坚持他的结论，即主张行政特权不符合美国的最佳利益，”这封信指出，此前特朗普上周做出了广泛努力不让知己合作用探针。
“拜登总统不支持前总统对特权的主张，”周三的信中说，该信还告诉该机构，“鉴于特别委员会对信息的需求的紧迫性，总统进一步指示你在前总统通知后30天提供这些页面，没有任何干预的法院命令。”
特朗普上周晚些时候发表声明称，这些请求“没有法律或现实依据——对这些政客来说，这只是一场游戏。他们不关心我们的国家或美国人民。”特朗普接着说，民主党人“醉心于权力”
周三的行动正值委员会加紧努力推进调查。据知情人士透露，前代理司法部长杰弗里·罗森周三在委员会作证。
周二，该委员会向前司法部长杰弗里·克拉克发出传票。当美国广播公司新闻联系到克拉克的律师时，他拒绝置评。
众议院特别委员会传唤了特朗普及其竞选团队的多名前白宫官员和助手，包括前白宫办公厅主任马克·梅多斯。委员会表示，梅多斯一直在与委员会合作，尽管他参与调查的程度尚不清楚。
然而，前特朗普白宫高级顾问、前竞选团队首席执行官史蒂夫·班农坚决拒绝该委员会。在美国广播公司新闻获得的给委员会的第二封信中，班农的律师表示，特朗普的律师指示他们不要回应，理由是前总统援引了行政特权。
“在你与特朗普总统达成协议或收到法院关于行政特权的范围、范围和适用的裁决之前...班农不会出示文件或作证，”班农的律师罗伯特·科斯特洛在给委员会主席本尼·汤普森的信中写道。
汤普森和副主席利兹·切尼上周说他们将“迅速考虑”以蔑视国会的方式，因无视委员会的传票而拘留班农，并可能拘留其他人。
消息人士向美国广播公司证实，特朗普的律师向几名被传唤者发出了一封信，通知他们这位前总统希望传票被忽视，他计划要求行政特权。在信中，特朗普暗示，他愿意将此事诉诸法庭，以阻止他们的合作。
白宫法律顾问达纳·雷穆斯(Dana Remus)在早些时候给国家档案馆的一封信中表示，白宫“已经确定，主张行政特权不符合美国的最佳利益”，但如果特朗普只对部分文件主张行政特权，他们将“做出相应回应”。
该委员会已经发出了至少18张传票，其中大部分传票发给了特朗普的同伙和与国会大厦骚乱当天华盛顿集会有关的个人。
White House pushes for release of Jan. 6 documents as Trump, Bannon rebuff committee
The battle over White House records of former President Donald Trump's activities related to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack intensified Wednesday as President Joe Biden formally rejected Trump's claims that the documents should be shielded from release to the House select committee investigating the insurrection.
In a letter to the National Archives, the White House counsel's office said President Biden is "instructing" the agency to comply with the House select committee's request for the records.
"President [Biden] maintains his conclusion that an assertion of executive privilege is not in the best interests of the United States," the letter states, after Trump last week made a broad effort tokeep confidants from cooperatingwith the probe.
"President Biden does not uphold the former President's assertion of privilege," said Wednesday's letter, which also told the agency that "in light of the urgency of the Select Committee’s need for the information, the President further instructs you to provide those pages 30 days after your notification to the former President, absent any intervening court order."
Trump issued a statement late last week saying the requests "are not based in law or reality -- it's just a game to these politicians. They don't care about our Country or the American people." Trump went on to say the Democrats are "drunk on power."
Wednesday's move comes as the committee ramps up its efforts to move ahead with its investigation. Former Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen testified before the committee Wednesday, according to a source familiar with the proceedings.
On Tuesday, the committee issued a subpoena to former Associate Attorney General Jeffrey Clark. A lawyer for Clark declined to comment when reached by ABC News.
The House select committee has subpoenaed multiple former White House officials and aides to Trump and his campaign, including former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. The committee has said Meadows has been cooperating with the committee, though the extent of his participation in the investigation is unclear.
However, former Trump White House senior advisor and one-time campaign CEO Steve Bannon is standing firm in rebuffing the committee. In a second letter to the committee, obtained by ABC News, Bannon's lawyer says they have been directed by Trump's counsel not to respond, citing the former president's invocation of executive privilege.
"Until such a time as you reach an agreement with President Trump or receive a court ruling as to the extent, scope and application of the executive privilege ... Mr. Bannon will not be producing documents or testifying," Bannon's counsel, Robert Costello wrote in a letter to committee chairman Bennie Thompson.
Thompson and vice-chair Liz Cheneysaid last weekthey would "swiftly consider" holding Bannon, and potentially others, in contempt of Congress for ignoring committee subpoenas.
Sources confirmed to ABC News that Trump's lawyer sent a letter to several of those subpoenaed informing them that the former president wants the subpoenas ignored and that he plans to claim executive privilege. In the letter, Trump suggested he would be willing to take the matter to court to block their cooperation.
White House counsel Dana Remus said in an earlier letter to the National Archives that the White House "has determined that an assertion of executive privilege is not in the best interests of the United States," but that they would "respond accordingly" if Trump asserts executive privilege over only a subset of the documents.
The committee has issued at least 18 subpoenas, with most going to Trump associates and individuals linked to the rallies in Washington on the day of the Capitol riot.
