SEATTLE (AP) — Washington’s Court of Appeals has granted a request by six Seattle police officers to temporarily block the release of records that would identify them as participants in the Jan. 6 pro-Trump rally that fueled the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. The Seattle Times reports Appeals Court Commissioner Jennifer Koh’s ruling Wednesday allows a restraining order to remain in place pending the court’s review of a King County judge’s ruling that would allow the City of Seattle to disclose the records. Koh wrote in a three-page ruling that a “brief additional delay is justified.” The appeals court will expedite the case, with a hearing set for April 2.
