(CNN) The Supreme Court handed the House January 6 committee a significant win on Wednesday as it shut down former President Donald Trump's bid to block the release of documents from his White House to committee investigators. The National Archives announced midday on Thursday it was "now in the process of" giving Trump's records to the committee. Those documents amounted to more than 700 pages of records detailing the goings on within the White House in the period the House is investigating. Wednesday's Supreme Court order showed that the justices weren't going to be willing to rubber stamp any legal challenge to the committee's work. Boasberg said at a hearing Thursday, noting the Supreme Court "certainly didn't vacate" the finding that the House committee has a legislative purpose.
