A federal judge overseeing civil litigation brought against Donald Trump by lawmakers and police who endured the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol has agreed to give the former president and convicted felon more time to obtain records from the Secret Service and Metropolitan Police Department that have been missing in action since June.
As Law&Crime previously reported, during a status conference in the civil matter in early August before U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta, attorneys for Trump and attorneys for the plaintiffs revealed that subpoenas the parties sent to the Secret Service and Washington, D.C.‘s Metropolitan Police Department have gone totally unanswered for over a month.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs told Mehta that the deadline they put for response for their subpoenas sent earlier this year was June 18. Neither the Secret Service or MPD wished to comment to Law&Crime.
