'What the F-ck Is This?': Team Trump Blindsided by Jan. 6 Committee Getting Doc Footage [View all]

Source: RollingStone

The Jan. 6 committee has subpoenaed documentary filmmaker Alex Holder in regard to footage and interviews Holder and his team shot while following former President Donald Trump and his inner circle throughout the 2020 presidential campaign. Holder's company, AJH Films, confirmed to Rolling Stone on Tuesday that he has been subpoenaed, will sit for an interview with the panel on Thursday, and has "fully complied with all of the committee's requests."

Trump's team was blindsided by the development, which was initially reported by Politico.

In some of the highest ranks of the Trumpworld diaspora -- including among several who testified before the Jan. 6 committee -- news of the documentarian cooperating with the congressional panel (and also potentially having reams of behind-the-scenes footage of Trump's crusade to nullify the 2020 election) came as a bizarre surprise. "What the fuck is this?" a former top Trump 2020 official messaged Rolling Stone on Tuesday after seeing the Politico item.

Another former senior official on the reelection team insisted that the first time several members of the Trump campaign leadership even heard of the documentary was when Politico reported the committee had subpoenaed the Holder. A third ex-official simply said, "Terrible idea," and pleaded baffled ignorance to the doc project.
