EXCLUSIVE: Taylor Budowich, a spokesman for former President Donald Trump, is fighting a subpoena from the House Jan. 6 Committee for his records from JPMorgan Chase, arguing in a court filing that he’s being denied due process in the matter after providing hundreds of pages of documents and hours of sworn testimony.
“The Select Committee acts absent any valid legislative power and threatens to violate longstanding principles of separation of powers by performing a law enforcement function absent authority to do so,” a complaint filed by Budowich in the Washington, D.C., federal district court reads.
“Mr. Budowich has not been afforded the opportunity to review the subpoena at issue in order to ascertain the extent or scope of information and records requested; moreover, the Select Committee has dispensed with all procedural rules, failed to accord due process, and neglected to provide formal notice,” it continues.
Budowich, who started his current role as Trump’s spokesman in July, told Fox News Friday that he’s been cooperating with the Jan. 6 Committee’s investigation, including by sitting for a deposition on Wednesday and providing a variety of records before that.
That included, Budowich said, bank transactions and text messages related to his role as a consultant for a group that advertised Trump’s Jan. 6 Ellipse rally. His complaint against the committee says he produced “more than 1,700 pages of documents” and gave the committee “roughly four hours of sworn testimony.”
Budowich also previously worked on the Trump campaign but left that job in November, and was an adviser to Donald Trump Jr.
Taylor Budowich, a spokesman for former President Donald Trump, is one of many individuals whose records are being subpoenaed by the Jan. 6 Committee.
