Officials in seven states have now received subpoenas from the special counsel appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to oversee investigations into former President Donald Trump.
The latest subpoena to be disclosed publicly was sent to local officials in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, according to a report published Wednesday evening.
“Yes, we received a subpoena from the Department of Justice’s special counsel regarding the 2020 election. We have nothing further to share or provide,” a county spokesperson told CNN.
Garland named Jack Smith, a veteran war crimes prosecutor, as special counsel last month after Trump announced a 2024 campaign for the presidency. Smith was tasked with taking over investigations into Trump’s handling of government documents after leaving office and circumstances leading up to the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021.
