Former Trump aide Dan Scavino served January 6 committee subpoena after struggle to locate him

Washington (CNN)Former Trump aide Dan Scavino has been served a subpoena from the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, a source familiar with the matter told CNN, bringing an end to the panel's struggle to physically locate him.

A process server brought the subpoena to former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Friday, the source said. While Scavino was home in New York at the time, he asked a staff member to accept the subpoena on his behalf.

In its letter to Scavino, the committee outlined that, because of his close proximity and long history of working with the former President, he can provide useful information regarding conversations Trump had on January 5 about trying to convince members of Congress to not certify the election, the former President's movements on January 6, and the broader communication strategy the White House had in the lead up to the January 6 rally.

The source said that Scavino would review the subpoena with his attorneys early next week to determine next steps.

Romney is an economic terrorist. So fuck his "gracious" bullshit.

Romney voted to let America default on its debt.

Romney went up to Schumer after his speech to express his displeasure. Schumer hammered Republicans during his speech

Romney explained it this way: “there’s a time to be graceful and there’s a time to be combative. That was a time for grace and common ground”

Student arrested in Texas school shooting released from jail

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — An 18-year-old student accused in a shooting at a Texas high school was released from jail Thursday after posting bond.

Police accuse Timothy George Simpkins of opening fire in a classroom Wednesday at Timberview High School in Arlington. Two people were shot and two others suffered unspecified injuries. He was jailed on three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Police have said the shooting happened after a fight, but Simpkins' family said he had been bullied and robbed twice at school.

“The decision he made, taking the gun, we’re not justifying that,” said family spokeswoman Carol Harrison Lafayette, who spoke to reporters outside the Simpkins’ home Wednesday night while standing with other relatives. “That was not right. But he was trying to protect himself."

Aunt Crabby Has A Point About Conservative Christians

@DearAuntCrabby

I find it amazingly hypocritical that RWNJ Conservative Christians who believe in a magic zoo boat and laying on hands all of a sudden are experts in infectious diseases and epidemiology.
