The U.S. House committee investigating the January 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol made a big show of voting to subpoena former President Donald Trump last week — but it has not actually issued the subpoena, because it cannot actually identify Trump’s attorney.
ABC News reported Wednesday:
The Jan. 6 committee investigating the attack on the U.S. Capitol has yet to formally subpoena former President Donald Trump, in part because investigators are still trying to find someone authorized to accept service of it, sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.
…
[M]ultiple lawyers representing Trump have told committee investigators they aren’t permitted to formally accept service of the subpoena on behalf of Trump, sources familiar with the deliberations say.
As Breitbart News noted, the committee voted unanimously to subpoena Trump, after failing — despite weeks of hearings, months of closed-door depositions, and testimony from over 1,000 witnesses — to produce any evidence linking him directly to the Capitol riot.
Trump responded in a letter in which he expressed his outrage that the committee had not addressed his basic claim that the 2020 presidential election had been fraudulent. In theory, he has said he is willing to testify. However, there is no actual subpoena.

Thanks for playing, Liz.
Well, that’s a new level of incompetence.
In theory, he has said he is willing to testify. However, there is no actual subpoena.

Would not be the least bit surprised for the corrupt FBI to do a midnight raid to arrest Trump for not honoring a subpoena that was never served.
This article is absolute nonsense.
The subpoena can be served personally upon Trump. It can also be served upon someone over 18 and competent at his residence.
If the residence is guard gated, service can be effectuated upon the guard.
Servive can also take place by publication.
Don’t tell them just keep them guessing and chasing their tails
LOL! Even if they could identify him/her, he/she could change their identify at the drop of a hat. I love this country! Identities are very flexible in the Banana Republica America.
100% correct, as confirmed by this 30 year litigator.
Sad seeing so many miserable people because they can’t move on with their lives without Trump. He is their addiction.
Me too. Actually, since 1991.
so this is the way their world ends, not with a bang but a whimper..
“The subpoena can be served personally upon Trump.”
Good luck getting close enough for that to happen.
“It can also be served upon someone over 18 and competent at his residence.”
As long as the over-18 person is officially a resident.
“If the residence is guard gated, service can be effectuated upon the guard.”
Secret Service is not supposed to get involved in subpoena actions, as that would place them in the middle of a legal fight.
“Servive can also take place by publication.”
Prove he read that publication or even knew of it.
the face she’ll make more and more over the coming years...
I get the feeling that the Democrats want “the subpoena” to be in the news, but they just don’t want to serve it because they just don’t want Trump to testify. They want him to get bad press. Because, you know, he’s literally Hitler.
Shhhhhhh........those idiots don’t know all that.
😏
I don’t believe you need proof that the recipient of the subpoena read the public notice. Then, there’s also “gutter service” in some states, where they just need to drop it off at the address.
False. The individual doesn't have to “officially” be a resident
Prove he read that [publication or even knew of it.
You don't need to prove he read the publication. That isn't the rule Insure hope you aren't practicing law. If you are, please increase your malpractice coverage.
It’s almost as if the Committee doesn’t want Trump to testify... Offered Pelosi the National Guard but she declined. Called for peaceful protest. Massive evidence of election fraud. Oops.
This is total BS by the committee because there are methods serve him directly if his attorney doesn’t cooperate and accept service.
Wait. If they serve the subpoena to a women, and the woman turns out to be a man, and the man changes back into a man, how does that affect the documentation?
