Former Trump aide Dan Scavino received a subpoena from the House Select Committee investigating the Jan.6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, ending the panel’s fight to physically locate him, CNN reported.
A process server brought the summons to former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago complex in Florida on Friday. While Scavino was at home in New York at the time, he asked a staff member to accept the subpoena on his behalf.
In its letter to Scavino, the committee noted that due to its proximity and long history of working with the former president, it can provide useful insight into the conversations Trump had on January 5 about trying to convince members of Congress that did not certify the elections, the movements of the former president on January 6, and the broader communication strategy that the White House had in the run-up to the January 6 rally.
Scavino was among former Trump aides who had been sent a letter from Trump’s attorney this week, commenting that he intended to defend what he viewed as a violation of executive privilege.
