The House Select Committee has given former United States President Donald Trump more time to turn in subpoenaed documents amid investigations of the Capitol Hill riot.

The committee released a statement that noted that they have informed the former president's counsel that he is required to produce records no later than next week. It added that Trump remains under subpoena for deposition testimony that would begin on Nov. 14.

Trump's Subpoena

Last month, the panel subpoenaed the Republican businessman as it was seeking a wide array of documents with a deadline of 10:00 a.m. on Friday. The committee also wanted Trump to sit for an interview under oath from Nov. 14 and would continue on subsequent days as needed.

The committee added that it had received correspondence from the former president and his counsel in relation to the panel's subpoena. However, the members of the panel did not provide additional information regarding the matter, as per CNN.

Trump's lawyers have accepted the service of the subpoena from the panel as of Oct. 26, sources familiar with the matter said. The former president has criticized the select committee but has not commented on whether or not he would comply with the subpoena.

When the committee's subpoena was announced, the former president's attorney, David Warrington, released a statement that said the panel was "flouting norms and appropriate and customary process" by publicly releasing the subpoena. He added that Trump's legal team would respond appropriately to the unprecedented action by the select committee.

According to USA Today, the committee's subpoena requests Trump for various communications and records that were placed or received by the former president between the 2020 election and the Capitol Hill riot. These include calls and texts sent through Signal, photographs and videos taken on Jan. 6, 2021, and memoranda and notes of conversations.

Capitol Hill Riot Investigation

Previously, committee members have said that they have not yet resolved how to compel the former president to comply with the subpoena if he refuses to voluntarily cooperate with the case. Lawmakers could move to hold Trump in contempt but legal experts and other lawyers said that it was unlikely for the Justice Department to prosecute Trump for contempt of Congress.

Furthermore, the committee, led by chairman Democrat Bennie Thompson and vice chair Republican Liz Cheney, has yet to issue any criminal referrals to the Justice Department. However, the two leaders of the panel made it clear that they believed the former president's actions to overturn the elections were unlawful.

Trump also told advisers that he would potentially be willing to testify live before the committee but his lawyer did not respond to a request for comment on the status of his potential cooperation with the panel's subpoena, the Washington Post reported.

Cheney previously said that the committee was talking with Trump's attorneys about the former president testifying under oath in the investigation. The committee also sent a letter that summarized what the panel believes is how the Republican businessman "personally orchestrated and oversaw" the efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential elections.
