General Flynn, in a recent appearance on Steve Bannon’s War Room, shared he has received eight subpoenas in recent weeks.
Flynn started out his conversation with Bnnon by sharing there’s “no way in the world” the Democrats won’t try evrything possible to prevent Trump from being president again.
Gen. Flynn proceeded to share “Steve, a little breaking news here on your show, I received eight, count them, eight subpoenas last night.”
He did not specify what the subpoenas stemmed from, but Yahoo reported that Flynn was subpoenaed by the House of Representatives select committee that is investigating Jan 6th.

Per Yahoo:
The House of Representatives select committee investigating the 6 January insurrection has issued subpoenas to six more prominent figures in former president Donald Trump’s orbit, including former national security adviser Michael Flynn, ex-Chapman University law professor John Eastman, and two former top Trump campaign officials: campaign manager Bill Stepien and senior adviser Jason Miller.
According to documents released by the committee, each of the new targets is thought by investigators to have played a role in Mr Trump’s months-long push to delegitimise — and later overturn — the results of last year’s presidential election.
In a statement, Select Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson noted that Mr Trump’s “closest allies and advisers drove a campaign of misinformation about the election and planned ways to stop the count of Electoral College votes” in the days prior to 6 January, when Congress was set to meet in a joint session to certify then-President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
“The Select Committee needs to know every detail about their efforts to overturn the election, including who they were talking to in the White House and in Congress, what connections they had with rallies that escalated into a riot, and who paid for it all,” Mr Thompson said.
Some of the Trumpworld figures who received subpoenas, such as Mr Stepien, Mr Miller, and executive assistant Angela McCallum, had formal roles with the Trump campaign.
But others, such as Mr Flynn — a retired Army Lieutenant General who spent just over three weeks as Mr Trump’s national security adviser before being fired (and later criminally charged) for lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation — were not part of any formal operation but made efforts to find any possible way to keep Mr Trump in power after it became clear that he had lost to Mr Biden.
“You reportedly attended a December 18, 2020, meeting in the Oval Office during which participants discussed seizing voting machines, declaring a national emergency, invoking certain national security emergency powers, and continuing to spread the message that the November 2020 election had been tainted by widespread fraud,’” Mr Thompson wrote in a letter to Mr Flynn accompanying the subpoena.
