Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser to Donald Trump, is suing members of a House panel investigating the January 6 Capitol riot who subpoenaed him, following other Trump affiliates who have refused to cooperate with the panel and have faced contempt charges as a result.

Flynn filed a suit in Florida on Tuesday to stop the subpoenas that would require him to give up his cell phone and email records.
Flynn was subpoenaed by the committee because of his reported involvement in a December 2020 Oval Office discussion about seizing voting machines and other tactics to overturn the 2020 election.
Flynn gave a television interview in December 2020 in which he discussed foreign influence on the 2020 election and the precedent for declaring martial law as a way to "rerun" the election, which he believed to be fraudulent.
Flynn was a private citizen who had concerns about the integrity of the 2020 elections, and it is not a crime to hold these beliefs, according to the lawsuit.
Forbes asked the select committee for comment on the suit.
In October, Trump instructed his affiliates to not comply with any of the subpoenas brought on by the committee. Trump claimed executive privilege as a defense to block the committee from getting documents. A federal appeals court upheld a lower court's decision to deny Trump's request, noting that executive privilege is reserved for the sitting president. Flynn is the latest Trump associate to refuse to cooperate with the committee, following the example of MarkMeadows who sued the panel. The committee recommended that the House hold Meadows in contempt for his refusal to cooperate, and the House agreed with the recommendation last week. Steve Bannon was indicted by a grand jury last month, just as the Justice Department will now bring the case against him. Executive privilege was cited as the reason for refusing to testify at the trial. The committee cited a January 5th quote from the man, saying that he was involved in events leading to the Capitol riot.
The phone and email records that were submitted to the committee contained discussions of appointing an alternate state of electors.
