Former U.S. President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit on Friday to block a subpoena from the House of Representatives committee investigating the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol by Trump's supporters, AP reported.

The January 6 committee announced on October 21 that it had sent Trump a subpoena, demanding that he provide documents and testify under oath. 

The committee is seeking a wide range of documents from Trump that would detail communications he may have had over a period of several months leading up to the January 6 riot and beyond with lawmakers, Oath Keepers and Proud Boys members, as well as associates and former aides, including Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn and Rudy Giuliani.

On November 5, the committee said it had given the former president another week to begin producing documents requested under the subpoena.
