Retired General Michael Flynn, who was former President Trump's national security adviser, is suing the House January 6 select committee to try to invalidate a subpoena for his documents and testimony.
"Without intervention by this Court," the lawsuit filed in a Florida federal court Tuesday, "General Flynn faces the harm of being irreparably and illegally coerced to produce information and testimony in violation of the law and his constitutional rights."
Flynn asserts that the November 8 subpoenas, which include phone records and "[a]ll documents and communications referring or relating in any way to plans, efforts, or discussions regarding challenging, decertifying, overturning, or contesting the results of the 2020 Presidential election," are "are invalid and unenforceable."
