Yes, we received a subpoena from the Department of Justices special counsel regarding the 2020 election. We have nothing further to share or provide, said Amie Downs, the countys communications director.
The subpoena sent to Allegheny County is the latest in a string of requests for information sent by Smith, who is now overseeing the Justice Departments sprawling criminal investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Smiths team has now sent subpoenas to local and state officials in all seven of the key states Georgia, New Mexico, Nevada, Michigan, Arizona, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin targeted by former President Donald Trump Trump and his allies as part of their bid to upend Joe Bidens legitimate victory.
Those efforts included putting forward slates of pro-Trump electors and filing baseless lawsuits. CNN reported this summer that the DOJ issued numerous subpoenas and was seeking information in all seven states where Trumps campaign convened the false electors as part of the effort to subvert the Electoral College.
