Former President Donald Trump has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to prevent a congressional committee from obtaining documents related to a White House ballroom event. This request follows a lower court's decision.

The House Oversight Committee is seeking records concerning the event from the Trump Organization. A previous ruling had granted the committee access to these materials.

Mr. Trump's appeal argues that congressional approval is not necessary for such White House functions. The former president is seeking to reverse the lower court's decision through this action. Full reporting is available from the original source.
