ICYMI, the Malignant Loser is still losing:
The Supreme Court said on Tuesday that it will not take up former President Donald Trump's case challenging the disclosure of his White House documents to the House January 6 investigation, a formal conclusion to his unsuccessful bid to keep those records secret.
The court had previously rejected Trump's emergency request to block the National Archives from turning over the materials while the court considered whether to take up the case. The documents Trump was trying to block in court are already in the hands of the House Select Committee investigating January 6.Tuesday's order -- which included no further explanation of why the court was not taking up the case -- means that the lower court decisions approving the release of the documents will stand.The National Archives continues to process Trump-era presidential and vice-presidential records requested by the House investigation.

The case that was before the Supreme Court dealt with a specific set of documents being sought by the committee, meaning that Trump could still challenge other attempts to get information about his presidency that he wants to stay secret.
As has been his modus operandi throughout life, the lawless cheat will doubtless challenge and try to outlast pursuers trying to get to the bottom of his bottomless criminality. But, the problem for him is the sheer number of legal cases he's facing:
Former president Donald Trump is facing a total of 19 legal actions – about half of which allege improper conduct during his presidency.
Most of the cases fall under three themes: financial wrongdoings that made him more money; his role in the January 6 2021 insurrection; and his alleged interference in the 2020 election. Trump has denied wrongdoing in most of these cases. He has filed motions to dismiss several of them and has filed countersuits in some cases.

Sometimes, you can run, but you can't hide.
