The special counsel overseeing a criminal investigation of former President Donald Trump has issued subpoenas to Trump’s daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner, according to a new report.
The subpoenas by special counsel Jack Smith, which demand the couple’s testimony before a grand jury, are related to his probe of Trump for efforts to remain in the White House after losing the 2020 election to President Joe Biden, The New York Times reported.
Both Ivanka Trump and Kushner served as senior White House advisors to the former president.
Smith previously issued a subpoena to former Vice President Mike Pence, who has said he will oppose the demand for his testimony.
