The ruling came on The Day 10 Trump aides were issued with legal summonses to testify before lawmakers.
Hundreds of Mr Trump's supporters stormed The Capitol building and disrupted the official certification of President Joe Biden 's election victory on 6 January this year.
The House of Representatives Select Committee wants to see a trove of phone records, visitor logs and other White House documents that could shed some light on The Events leading up to The Attack on Congress.

But US District Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled on Tuesday that The National Archives, the federal agency that holds Mr Trump's White House records, should comply with The Panel 's request.
