The 41-page complaint filed in federal court in Florida argues that the subpoena is invalid because it lacks a “valid legislative purpose,” is overly broad, and “infringes on executive privilege” and Trump’s First Amendment rights. The suit also argues that the committee lacks the authority to issue subpoenas — an argument that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and several other judges have already rejected.
“Consistent with the constitutional separation of powers and learned opinion of the Department of Justice, as stated for the past fifty years and reiterated just this past September, President Trump asserted his absolute immunity from compelled testimony before Congress regarding his actions while serving as President,” Trump’s lawyers write.
A spokesperson for the committee declined to comment, and it’s unclear what the panel will do next to try to enforce the subpoena.
JlhRDHMOM BabyTrump
😡
Trump should just comply. What does he have to hide?
This is all about the cult movement and his people would defend him.
Trump is a Narcissist and a Psychopath and a liar Only Narcissists and Psychopaths and liars support Trump
🤬
Too scared to face up
Go away
I can imagine history books: President Obama did this and that... and then came Former President Trump. A stain. But we have determined to remove complete history of that horrific stain.
Oh how the dying corporate media propaganda lies
Why is polosi hiding thousands of hours of video footage?
If this suit gains any traction at all, I say we all get together, storm Maralago and trash it…lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂
A COWARD IN CHIEF..!
It's a sad day he even had to do that. It's clearly a kangaroo court. Can you believe we are paying for that shit? Every single member of that committee...vote em out.
We all know he did it
Lol, donny trump, lol.
Exhibit A for delay, delay, delay. tfg's old ruse. Will the courts do what?

How is he not bankrupt with all the lawsuits his legal team files
বিশ্ব নায়ক এর মামলা আরো আগে করলে ভালো হতো নির্বাচন এর জন্য তারপর ও এখন খারাপ হয়নি!
News would be the deranged loser did not file a lawsuit
This should have been finished a year ago. this committee failed in its job.
Lock him up.
Putting those MAGA cult donations to use.
What a joke!
It goes to show what an anti-American seditionist Trump truly is. He has zero respect for its laws or institutions. Zero. It's time for the GOP to ditch this walking liability.
Weird - he never sues anyone
The man does love a lawsuit.
What a piece of s__t Donald Trump truly is. How could anyone, anywhere in America think this is a man with any characteristics at all which would make him fit to run our country? It turns my stomach.
Gee, what a surprise
Guess he's not so happy to talk to them after all.
I'm surprised it took him so long.
An innocent man would want to clear his name.
The only time donny talks is when its worthless word soup. He tries that under oath & it's more crimes for the already bogged down doj.
So much to hide, for an 'innocent' man...
His name should be changed to Donald Sue Trump. Fits him better.
Love how they describe a protest as an 'attack' 😮💨
Pence didn't order the Capitol cleared. Trump did not delay or deny guard support. Any tweet by Trump would have interfered with guard’s mission. Biden promoted J6 general to CG USARPAC General's testimony: *33:00 (38:00) 3:27:00
IFB
Can’t wait for that waste of money and time committee to be dismantled. Only 7 more seats needed
He’s a hot mess.
