When presidents have been subpoenaed, here's what they've done
Three occupants of the Oval Office have been subpoenaed before, and each case has been settled differently.

Here's what's happened when past presidents have been subpoenaed:
Jefferson declined to comply but ultimately produced some material in the treason trial of his former vice president, Aaron Burr.
Nixon resigned and the issue went away.
The Clinton subpoena was withdrawn when he agreed to testify voluntarily.
The Supreme Court has never directly addressed whether a president can refuse to cooperate in a criminal investigation potentially involving his own conduct. That's because no president has ever fought such a request.
But in two other cases, the court has suggested that there's no authority for the president to decline.
