A federal grand jury has subpoenaed Trump administration attorney Eric Herschmann as part of the Justice Department’s investigation into the January 6 attack on the Capitol building, Politico first reported Monday, making him the latest Trump ally asked to cooperate with the probe as it ramps up and reportedly becomes increasingly focused on former President Donald Trump.
Herschmann was subpoenaed for documents and testimony, according to an anonymous source cited by Politico, after serving as a legal adviser to Trump at the White House, where he clashed with other lawyers following the 2020 election who backed Trump’s efforts to overturn the election results.
White House counsel Pat Cipollone and deputy Patrick Philbin were previously subpoenaed earlier in August, multiple outlets report, after both attorneys similarly objected to Trump’s post-election efforts.
Former Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff Marc Short and counsel Greg Jacob testified to the grand jury in July, which the New York Times reports marked the first known instance of people participating in the probe who were working at the White House in the days before January 6.
Cassidy Hutchinson, the former aide to Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows who gave explosive testimony to the House January 6 Committee, is reportedly cooperating with the probe, though ABC News reports it’s unclear to what extent she is.
