Lawyers for former President Donald Trump have accepted service of the subpoena from the House January 6 select committee, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Trump and his lawyers have until November to 4 to turn over documents sought in the subpoena and until November 14 to testify at a deposition. CNN has reached out to Trump’s lawyers for comment. Trump has criticized the committee but not said whether he would comply with the subpoena. He did recently share a Fox News story on Truth Social that claimed he “loves the idea of testifying.
The panel summarized what it presented in its hearings to demonstrate why it believes Trump “personally orchestrated and oversaw” the efforts to overturn the election. It said Trump “purposely and maliciously” disseminated false claims that the 2020 election was stolen in order to help his plan to overturn the election and to solicit contributions. The committee painted Trump as “orchestrating and overseeing” the effort to obtain false state electors.
