Dear Mr. Epshteyn:
Pursuant to the authorities set forth in House Resolution 503 and the rules of the House of
Representatives, the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States
Capitol (“Select Committee”) hereby transmits a subpoena that compels you to produce the
documents set forth in the accompanying schedule by February 1, 2022, and to appear for a
deposition on February 8, 2022.
The Select Committee is investigating the facts, circumstances, and causes of the January
6th attack and issues relating to the peaceful transfer of power in order to identify and evaluate
lessons learned and to recommend to the House and its relevant committees corrective laws,
policies, procedures, rules, or regulations.
The Select Committee’s investigation has revealed credible evidence that you publicly
promoted claims that the 2020 election was stolen and participated in attempts to disrupt or delay
the certification of the election results based on your allegations. You participated in a press
conference on November 19, 2020, during which attorneys for the Trump campaign promoted
claims of election fraud.1 Published reports have placed you at meetings at the Willard Hotel in
the days leading up to January 6,2 and you are reported to have participated in a call with former
President Trump on the morning of January 6, during which options were discussed to delay the
certification of election results in light of Vice President Pence’s unwillingness to deny or delay
certification.3
Accordingly, the Select Committee seeks documents and a deposition regarding these and
other matters that are within the scope of the Select Committee’s inquiry. A copy of the rules
governing Select Committee depositions, and document production definitions and instructions
