Federal grand jury probing Jan. 6 subpoenas Pat Cipollone: report

A federal grand jury subpoenaed former White House Counsel Pat Cipollone as part of its investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol and actions within the Trump administration following the 2020 election.

Mr. Cipollone’s appearance will likely involve negotiations on topics that are covered by executive privilege and off-limits if he appears before the panel, according to ABC News, which cited sources with direct knowledge of the matter.

The subpoena is the latest sign the grand jury is taking a close look at actions and conversations within the Trump White House on the day of the Capitol riot.
