A federal appeals court in DC denied Trump's bid to block some of his closest advisers, including former chief of staff MarkMeadows, from testifying about him to a grand jury. StephenM, KenCuccinelli are among the former officials ordered to testify.
Last week, Trump's legal team asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to undo a lower court's sealed decision that would force several of his top advisers to answer questions to a grand jury investigating Trump's and his allies' attempts to subvert the 2020 presidential election results despite his claims of legal shielding around his presidency that would bar some of their testimony.
Among the former officials ordered to testify are aide Stephen Miller, former Department of Homeland Security official Ken Cuccinelli, former national security adviser Robert O’Brien, and former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe. Other officials ordered to testify include Nick Luna, an assistant to Trump, and John McEntee, former director of the Presidential Personnel Office.
Special counsel Jack Smith's team is seeking grand jury testimony from the former Trump aides as part of a sweeping criminal investigation into Trump's post-election subversion in 2020 and the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.
