Attorneys for former President Donald Trump requested permission to subpoena records related to seven individuals and entities in the case against the Republican presidential candidate in the District of Columbia.

President Trump was charged with four felony counts for his actions in challenging the 2020 election results, and the records that he’s seeking are the ones missing from the archives of the January 6 Select Committee.

“By these subpoenas, President Trump seeks to retrieve certain missing records and uncover information about their disposition,” the Oct. 11 filing reads.

The seven individuals are the archivist at the National Archives and Records Administration, the clerk of the House of Representatives, the Committee on House Administration (the successor of the January 6 Select Committee), Richard Sauber, Jonathan Meyer, Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.).

Mr. Sauber is an attorney who has served as special counsel to President Joe Biden since 2022. Mr. Meyer was confirmed as general counsel of the Department of Homeland Security in October 2021.

President Trump is being prosecuted by special counsel Jack Smith, who was appointed in November 2022 to investigate matters related to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach events. The government has already brought forth more than 1,100 cases against those who were present at the Capitol that day.

President Trump has pleaded not guilty to all four counts and maintains that his prosecution is politically motivated, pointing out that Mr. Smith was appointed just days after the former president announced that he would be seeking office again in 2024.

Committee Records

According to a letter from Mr. Loudermilk, the records from the January 6 Select Committee weren’t all transferred to be archived at the Committee on House Administration in accordance with the rules.

The representative sits on the Committee on House Administration and wrote in August that the committee had received only 2.5 terabytes of data out of the 4 terabytes that the January 6 Select Committee stated that it retained in its investigations.

These missing records include video recordings and transcriptions of interviews and depositions.
