The complaint filed in federal court in Florida argues that the subpoena lacks a “valid legislative purpose,” and “infringes on executive privilege” and Trump’s First Amendment rights.
Former president Donald Trump filed suit on Friday against the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol in a bid to block the panel’s subpoena for testimony and documents issued last month.
The 41-page complaint filed in federal court in Florida argues that the subpoena is invalid because it lacks a “valid legislative purpose,” is overly broad, and “infringes on executive privilege” and Trump’s First Amendment rights.
