上个月，前总统唐纳德·特朗普的多名助手收到了来自特别顾问杰克·史密斯ABC新闻了解到，这些人要求的文件和记录比史密斯被任命前从司法部获得的更广泛。
收到传票的消息人士向美国广播公司新闻部(ABC News)描述了传票的内容，其中包括关于筹款工作和演讲要点的问题1月6日攻击在美国国会大厦。
特别顾问还要求提供关于个人如何支付任何法律代理费用的信息，无论是自己还是通过外部当事人——当马克·梅多斯的前助手卡西迪·哈钦森告诉众议院1月6日委员会说，她换了律师因为她的第一个律师是通过与前总统有关的基金支付的。
正如美国广播公司新闻(ABC News)去年首次报道的那样，特别顾问正在寻求有关特朗普结盟的拯救美国超级政治行动委员会(Save America Super PAC)的信息，但新扩大的传票甚至更进一步，要求提供自特朗普进入政治舞台以来成立的多个与特朗普结盟的筹款工具和团体的信息，包括针对年轻共和党选民的右翼团体Turning Points USA。
此外，接近前总统的消息人士说，在过去几周内，更多的人出现在联邦大陪审团面前，其中一些人在出现过之后第二次回来。
消息人士告诉美国广播公司新闻，最近的露面是由特别律师的团队要求的。一位对此事有直接了解的消息人士称，一次大陪审团出庭“远比第一轮激烈”
史密斯是一名长期的联邦检察官，也是司法部公共廉政部门的前负责人11月窃听由司法部长梅里克·加兰(Merrick Garland)监督司法部对推翻2020年大选的努力以及特朗普卸任后对机密材料的处理的调查。
任命特别顾问的原因是特朗普的声明根据DOJ特别律师准则，他第三次竞选总统，这造成了利益冲突。
Special counsel subpoenas, grand jury appearances mount for Trump allies
Within the last month, multiple associates of former President Donald Trump received new wide-ranging subpoenas from Special Counsel Jack Smith requesting documents and records far more expansive than the previous outreaches these individuals received from the Department of Justice before Smith's appointment, ABC News has learned.
The subpoenas, which were described to ABC News by sources who received them, include questions about fundraising efforts and talking points leading up to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The special counsel is also requesting information on how individuals are paying for any legal representation, either by themselves or via an outside party -- something that came into question when a former aide to Mark Meadows, Cassidy Hutchinson, told the House Jan. 6 committee that she changed attorneys because her first counsel was being paid through funds linked to the former president.
As ABC News first reported last year, the special counsel is seeking information about the Trump-aligned Save America Super PAC -- but the newly expanded subpoena goes even further, requesting information about multiple Trump-aligned fundraising vehicles and groups that have formed since Trump entered the political arena, including Turning Points USA, a right-wing group that targets younger GOP voters.
In addition, sources close to the former president said that within the last few weeks, more individuals have appeared before a federal grand jury -- with some of them returning for a second time after having appeared before.
Sources told ABC News that the recent appearances were requested by the special counsel's team. A source with direct knowledge of the matter described one grand jury appearance as "far more intense than round one."
Smith, a longtime federal prosecutor and former head of the Justice Department's public integrity section, was tapped in November by Attorney General Merrick Garland to oversee the Justice Department's investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election and Trump's handling of classified materials after leaving office.
The appointment of the special counsel was triggered by Trump's announcement that he is running for president for a third time, which created a conflict of interest, according to the DOJ special counsel guidelines.
