In a decision taken late at night, U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Kelly ruled on Sunday to reject a request from the Republican National Committee to block his email provider and software company linked to Donald Trump’s re-election campaign to respond to a summons from a January 6 commission inquiry. The decision will not take effect immediately so that the RNC can appeal, but it is clear that the judge is on the side of the Chamber’s investigators. “It is difficult to imagine a more important interest for Congress than to maintain its own ability to perform the specific duties assigned to it under the Constitution,” Kelly wrote in a 53-page statement. “I repeat: According to the elected committee, its investigation and public reports suggest that allegations that the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent or stolen motivated some who participated in the attack, and emails sent by the RNC and the campaign to Trump, with the help of the Salesforce platform, is spreading these claims. “
