The House January 6 Committee has given President Trump an extension on the documents he must turn over. They subpoenaed President Trump last month for several documents and for an interview that will be under oath.
“We have informed the former President’s counsel that he must begin producing records no later than next week and he remains under subpoena for deposition testimony starting on November 14th,” the committee said in the statement.
President Trump’s attorneys are working on how to deal with the subpoena. Though he has been outspoken Trump hasn’t said if he is going to comply with the subpoena.
The Trump lawyers tapped to deal with the committee’s subpoena demands have been coordinating with other members of the former president’s legal team while determining how to proceed, according to a source familiar with the matter.
Despite operating as two separate teams, the lawyers who are focused on addressing the committee’s subpoena are consulting with attorneys representing Trump in the Justice Department’s criminal probe related to January 6, the source said, noting there are areas of potential overlap between the two separate legal matters.
The committee also wrote a letter and sent it with the subpoena. They spoke as to why they thought he was what caused the riot. They also demanded specific documents and communications from President Trump. Here are a few of the things that they requested:
In the subpoena, the committee demanded Trump turn over any communications sent or received during from Election Day on November 3, 2020, to Biden’s inauguration on January 20, 2021, with more than a dozen of his close allies who have emerged as key players in the broader plan to overturn the 2020 election.
It also asked Trump to turn over all records of phone calls, text messages or communications with any members of Congress from December 18, 2020, to January 6, 2021; all of his communications on January 6 specifically, and any communications or efforts to contact other witnesses in the committee’s investigation.
We will see if President Trump complies with the subpoena or not soon.
