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.

They want the Subpoena itself to get the headlines. They do not want Trump to actually testify. That would be embarrassing to have the truth told in committee.
Are you saying they bluffed and got called?
Are they that out of touch with reality?
[a joke]
If served, Trump should claim the subpoena is invalid because they got his pronouns wrong.
Gratuitous insult?
That belongs at DU not at FR.
No insult. You made a number of declarative statements, without equivocation, which were false.
I wouldn’t wish DU on anyone not named Kamala.
He’ll be happy to swing by and pick it up in person on 1/6/2023.
(The committee membership might experience a slight change and
have the opportunity to revisit their mission.)
