<p>Officials in seven states have now received subpoenas from the special counsel appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to oversee investigations into former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a>.</p>
<p>The latest subpoena to be disclosed publicly was sent to local officials in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, according to a report published Wednesday evening.</p>
<p>“Yes, we received a subpoena from the Department of Justice’s special counsel regarding the 2020 election. We have nothing further to share or provide,” <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/14/politics/jack-smith-subpoena-battleground-states/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a county spokesperson told CNN</a>.</p>
<p>Garland named Jack Smith, a veteran war crimes prosecutor, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/from-the-hague-to-obamas-irs-scandal-meet-jack-smith-the-new-special-counsel-to-investigate-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as special counsel</a> last month after Trump announced a 2024 campaign for the presidency. Smith was tasked with taking over investigations into Trump&#8217;s handling of government documents after leaving office and circumstances leading up to the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021.</p>
<p>The subpoenas reported in recent weeks appear to be part of the latter inquiry. They have also been sent to officials in Arizona, Georgia, New Mexico, Nevada, Michigan, and Wisconsin — all states where Trump and his allies sought to challenge the results of the 2020 election.</p>
<p>Trump has broadly denied any wrongdoing, and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-responds-to-doj-tapping-special-counsel-to-handle-two-of-its-criminal-investigations-into-him" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responded to Garland&#8217;s appointment</a> of Smith as special prosecutor by <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-says-he-wont-partake-special-counsel-investigation-slams-as-worst-politicization-of-justice" target="_blank" rel="noopener">telling Fox News</a> he &#8220;won&#8217;t partake&#8221; in the inquiry and lamented what he described as the &#8220;worst politicization of justice in our country.&#8221;</p>
<p>Smith has been moving at a brisk pace, despite recovering in Europe after suffering a biking accident. His team, which is nearly twice the size of special counsel Robert Mueller&#8217;s operation, have brought Trump associates before a grand jury in Washington, and asked a federal judge to hold Trump in contempt of court for allegedly failing to comply with a subpoena issued over the summer, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/11/politics/jack-smith-special-counsel-high-profile-moves-trump-criminal-investigations/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN previously reported</a>. The judge <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/09/politics/trump-contempt-hearing-classified-documents-subpoena/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declined to do so</a>.</p>
<p>Earlier this week, it was reported that Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was one of the officials who received a subpoena. Raffensperger is the official Trump pressed to &#8220;find&#8221; 11,780 votes, enough to reverse his election loss in Georgia, as heard in <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-raffensperger-call-transcript-georgia-vote/2021/01/03/2768e0cc-4ddd-11eb-83e3-322644d82356_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">audio of that conversation</a> leaked to the media shortly afterward.</p>
<p>Trump is also facing an election-related investigation in Georgia led by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.</p>
