"Pursuant to Fed R Crim P 17(c), President Donald J Trump respectfully requests leave to issue the attached subpoenas duces tecum (the 'Requested Subpoenas') for the pretrial production of records, addressed to the following: (1) the Archivist of the United States at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), (2) the Clerk of the House of Representatives, (3) the current Committee on House Administration, which is the successor entity to the January 6 Select Committee; (4) Richard Sauber, the Special Counsel to the President ; (5) Johnathan Meyer, the General Counsel of the Department of Homeland Security; (6) Representative Barry Loudermilk, US House of Representatives; and (7) Representative Bennie Thompson, US House of Representatives. The House Committee on Administration has identified these records as missing from the archived records of the January 6 Select Committee. By these subpoenas, President Trump seeks to retrieve certain missing records and uncover information about their disposition," write fat former President Trump's lawyers in a motion submitted to DC Judge Tanya Chutkan's court.
Former Mueller Investigation prosecutor Andrew Weissman says this is complete bullshit: "Nothing about this complies with Rule 17; Rule 17 does not permit pretrial production of generalized documents vs calling for production of specific, known, docs needed for and admissible at a trial."
