Wisconsin House speaker sues House January 6 committee, seeking to block subpoena

(CNN) — The House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, Capitol Hill insurrection subpoenaed Wisconsin House Speaker Robin Vos over the weekend, demanding he testify Monday morning, which prompted Vos to file an emergency lawsuit.
Vos asked a federal judge in Wisconsin to block the subpoena, which called for him to testify at 10 a.m. ET on Monday, two days before the committee’s next public hearing, according to federal court records. However, Vos is not appearing before the committee Monday after his attorney spoke with the panel and the House received copies of his court challenge, according to a person familiar with Vos’ subpoena.
The judge has not responded yet.
CNN has reached out to the committee for comment.
Vos says the committee wants to question him about a conversation he had with former President Donald Trump this July after the state courts blocked the use of some absentee ballot dropboxes, and Trump “requested Speaker Vos take future actions.”
