Prosecutors Oppose Trump's Bid to Subpoena Jan 6 Committee Records, Labeling it a 'Fishing Expedition'

Prosecutors argue Trump's subpoena bid unnecessary as they claim to have provided all relevant Jan. 6 committee records; trial set to begin March 2024.

• Prosecutors in Donald Trump's election interference case are opposing his attempts to subpoena House records related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot investigation, labelling these efforts as a 'fishing expedition'.
• Attorneys for special counsel Jack Smith have requested the court to reject Trump's motion which seeks archived materials from the investigation, as they argue that relevant records have already been provided.
• Trump’s defense team proposed seven subpoenas, including one for former House Jan. 6 committee chairman Bennie Thompson, contending there are 'certain missing records' relevant to Trump's defense.
• The Committee on House Administration and other entities responsible for preserving the records transferred by the former House Jan. 6 committee are among those targeted by Trump's subpoenas.
• The trial in the election interference case brought against Trump is scheduled to begin in March 2024.
