Trump's Jan. 6 subpoena requests denied by judge

TL;DR Summary

Trump sought the subpoenas as part of his defense against criminal charges related to his attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election. The judge suggested that Trump's lawyers were engaged in a "fishing expedition" and failed to justify the broad scope of the requested records. Trump has pleaded not guilty in the case.
