Lets hope the shit hits the fan for Trump and his band of thuggish goons? This is huge and I bet Trump will become very nervous and will say that Cipollone was a errand boy who got coffe for everyone, was never liked, nor was very good at his job, never liked Trump, made things up, and Trump didnt know him that well?

A federal grand jury has subpoenaed former Trump White House counsel Pat Cipollone in its investigation into the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol and efforts to overturn the 2020 election, sources with direct knowledge of the matter told ABC News.
The sources told ABC News that attorneys for Cipollone -- like they did with the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol -- are expected to engage in negotiations around any appearance, while weighing concerns regarding potential claims of executive privilege.
The move to subpoena Cipollone signals an even more dramatic escalation in the Justice Department's investigation of the Jan. 6 attack than previously known, following appearances by senior members of former Vice President Mike Pence's staff before the grand jury two weeks ago.
A representative for Cipollone could not be reached for comment.
Last month, Cipollone spoke to the House Jan. 6 Select Committee for a lengthy closed-door interview, portions of which have been shown during two of the committee's most recent public hearings.
