Former national security adviser Robert O’Brien has been subpoenaed by special counsel Jack Smith in both his investigation into classified documents found at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and the probe related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election, according to a source familiar with the matter.

O’Brien has been asserting executive privilege in declining to provide some of the information that prosecutors are seeking from him, the source said.

O’Brien considered resigning from his post over Trump’s response to the violence on January 6, 2021, but ultimately decided to remain in the job, CNN previously reported. The National Security Council should have been involved in the handling of classified documents at end of the Trump presidency, and O’Brien may have knowledge of how those records ended up at Mar-a-Lago.

1. Bookmarking to read later. I bet O'Brien knows a lot. I read Smith has subpoenaed Pence in Jan

6th probe too. To be a fly on the wall during both of these testimonies.

3. Yes, they're running out the clock perfectly. In a few months, they'll pull out their fake "rule"

"We can't pursue any legal action this close to an election." (See footnote 1)

Kind of like the other fake senate rule about supreme court justices. (See footnote 2)

1. Only applies with republican targets
2. Only applies with democratic nominees
