Patrick Philbin has been subpoenaed for testimony and documents, according to one of the sources. Philbin worked in the White House counsel’s office under Pat Cipollone, who was also subpoenaed for documents and testimony, according to sources.
Philbin did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Executive privilege will play a role in discussions of Philbin’s grand jury testimony, as it did in the recent grand jury testimony of Cipollone and Vice President advisers Mark Short and Greg Jacobs.
Philbin and Cipollone were key witnesses to Trump’s actions in the final days of his presidency. Cipollone has repeatedly rejected efforts to overturn the 2020 election, and according to a Senate Judiciary Committee report, he and Philbin opposed a proposal to replace the attorney general with someone willing to look into false allegations of election fraud.
