TL;DR Summary

A federal judge has rejected former President Trump's attempt to subpoena information related to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, ruling that the request amounted to a "fishing expedition." Trump had sought to subpoena Rep. Bennie Thompson and other government officials, claiming that the House select committee investigating the riot had failed to turn over all the evidence. The judge determined that Trump had not met the legal requirements for issuing the subpoenas. Rep. Thompson has stated that the committee provided all required work products and official records, including transcripts of witness interviews.
