Trump is challenging both the legitimacy of the committee -- which multiple courts have upheld -- and is claiming he should be immune from testimony about the time he was president.
Donald Trump is suing the Jan. 6 committee and seeking to a block subpoena for documents and his testimony about the January 2021 insurrection.Former President Donald Trump has sued the House select committee investigating January 6, 2021, as a way to challenge its subpoena for documents and his testimony, according to filings in a federal court in Florida.
He also argued to the court that he shouldn't have to reveal inner workings about his 2020 presidential campaign, "including his political beliefs, strategy, and fundraising. President Trump did not check his constitutional rights at the Oval Office door. Because the Committee's Subpoena to President Trump infringes upon his First Amendment rights it is invalid."
Trump provided to the court his team's recent letters with the committee, which show that the House panel tried to zero in last week on obtaining records of his electronic communication on personal phones, via text or on other apps from January 6, 2021. The House also said it sought to identify every telephone and other communication device Trump used from Election Day until he left the presidency, according to the letters.
