Former Trump aide, Dan Scavino was served with a subpoena from the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
According to CNN, process servers brought the subpoena to former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Friday. Scavino was home in New York at the time and asked a staff member to accept the subpoena on his behalf.
The committee had been unable to find the former deputy White House chief of staff for communications to serve him.
The select committee said in their letter to Scavino that he can provide useful information regarding a Jan. 5 meeting where Trump tried to convince members of Congress to not certify the results of the election.
Scavino was subpoenaed late last month along with former White House strategist Stephen Bannon, former chief of staff Mark Meadows and Kash Patel, the chief of staff to former acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller and a former House and White House staffer.
Trump reportedly directed all four to ignore the subpoena invoking claims of executive privilege.
Meadows and Patel are “so far engaging” with the panel, according to Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), and Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.). Bannon will not cooperate with the committee’s investigation.
“The executive privileges belong to President Trump,” his attorney said in a letter to the committee. “We must accept his direction and honor his invocation of executive privilege.”
Though the deadline to produce requested documents to the committee has passed Scavino will review the subpoena with his attorneys early next week to determine next steps, CNN reports.
