The House Jan. 6 committee on Friday extended the deadline for former President Donald Trump to produce documents related to the Capitol riot.
The committee noted in its extension that Trump and his legal team have been in contact with the panel since it issued a subpoena for documents and the former president’s testimony last month. The deadline for Trump to turn over documents had been Friday, Nov. 4. “We have received correspondence from the former President and his counsel in connection with the Select Committee’s subpoena,” Jan. 6 committee Chairman Bennie Thompson and Vice Chairwoman Liz Cheney wrote in a“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.
Among the documents sought by the panel are all communications Trump sent on Jan. 6, as well as all messages sent to members of Congress between Dec. 18, 2020 and Jan. 6 “relating or referring in any way to the 2020 presidential election.” The subpoena also accuses Trump of having “purposely and deliberately” disseminated false allegations, pushing the Justice Department to make false statements, pressuring state officials to change the election results and overseeing efforts to submit “false electoral certificates to Congress and the National Archives.”
