Former Trump aide Dan Scavino ultimately served a subpoena to appear before the committee on January 6.

Dan Scavino, a former Donald Trump aide, was eventually subpoenaed by the House committee investigating the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill after a long struggle to locate him. The subpoena was moved to Trump’s resort in Mar-a-Lago on Friday. Scavino, a former White House deputy chief of staff for communications, was actually in New York at the time but asked a staff member to accept the summons on his behalf.

Service of the summons ends a long saga after the Jan.6 committee was unable to locate Scavino for more than a week. The committee believes Scavino may have some useful information due to his history of working closely with Trump. Specifically, the committee wants information on the talks Trump had on January 5 to try to convince lawmakers not to certify the election as well as what the president did on January 6. Scavino will review the subpoena with his lawyers and decide what its next steps should be. be, a source told CNN.

Scavino is one of many former Trump aides who received a letter from Trump’s lawyer advising them not to provide any documents or testimony to the committee. He is one of four former Trump aides who had a deadline Thursday to deliver documents to the panel investigating the events of January 6. Former Trump aides Mark Meadows and Kashyap Patel are “so far engaged” with the panel, committee chairman Bennie Thompson, a Democrat, and Vice President Liz Cheney, a Republican, said in a statement. Former Trump strategist Steve Bannon has meanwhile refused to cooperate with the subpoenas. “Sir. Bannon has indicated that he will try to hide behind vague references to the former president’s privileges,” said Thompson and Cheney. They warned that “we will not allow any witnesses to challenge a legal subpoena or try to miss the allotted time, and we will quickly consider proposing a criminal contempt of referral to Congress ”.

President Joe Biden has decided not to invoke executive privilege to prevent the sharing of White House files with the congressional investigation. “The president has determined that an assertion of executive privilege is not warranted for the first set of Trump White House documents provided to us by the National Archives,” said press secretary Jen Psaki. Trump now has 30 days to challenge that ruling in court before the records are released to the panel.
