WHAT'S HAPPENING

The news comes after Cassidy Hutchinson testified that Cipollone expressed serious concerns about the legality of Donald Trump's actions in the final days of his presidency.
The subpoena came one day after former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson provided new details about Trumps behavior on Jan. 6, 2021.
His statement shows how Trump's inner circle failed to take concerns about the rule of law seriously.
Michael Flynn, pardoned by the president after confessing to felonies, urged Trump to declare martial law at "raucous" meeting where Powell was discussed.
Trump's defense team, led by White House counsel Pat Cipollone, continues to argue that the president did nothing wrong in his dealings with Ukraine.
