Mark Meadows subpoenaed by Special Counsel Jack Smith.

Mark Meadows subpoenaed by Special Counsel Jack Smith.

Former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has been subpoenaed by Jack Smith, the special counsel that is investigating former President Donald Trump and his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection, according to CNN.

Smith is reportedly seeking documents and testimony related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.


Meadows subpoena comes after Smith issued a subpoena to former Vice-President Mike Pence also seeking documents and testimony relating to the Jan. 6 riot.

Pence plans to fight the subpoena on the grounds that he was president of the Senate at the time which makes him a member of the legislative branch and he would therefore be shielded from the subpoena under the “speech and debate” clause of the Constitution.
