Trump White House counsel Pat Cipollone subpoenaed. After declining repeated requests from the

January 6th Committee for an on-the-record interview, he is now being compelled to testify

under oath. Plus, President Biden meeting with allies right now on the heels of NATO, declaring Russia

a direct threat and issuing a warning about China.

We'll get a live report ahead of a news conference from the president a little later this

morning.

And breaking news overnight, as Israel's parliament dissolves, paving the way for a fifth

election in less than four years. Good morning and welcome to way too early on this Thursday, June 30th.

I'm John Lamere, live from Madrid, where the NATO summit is underway.

We'll have more on what's happening here in just a moment, but we begin with news from Washington.

The January 6th committee has issued a subpoena for the testimony of Trump White House counsel,

Pat Cipollone. Investigators are compelling him to appear for a deposition next Wednesday, July 6th.

It comes after the committee's repeated requests for him to testify, and one day after, he was

featured prominently in bombshell testimony from former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson.

Cipollone sat for an informal interview back in April, but in a letter

to the formal White House counsel, the committee writes in part, you have declined to cooperate with

us further, including by providing on-the-record testimony. We are left with no choice but to issue

that you, this subpoena. The committee states it has obtained evidence about which Cipollone is, quote, uniquely positioned to testify.

Here are some of the key moments from the hearings so far that the committee wants Cipollone to corroborate.

Jared, are you aware of instances where Pat Cipollone threatened to resign?

I kind of, like I said, my interest at that time was on trying to get as many partners done.

And I know that, you know, he was always, to him and the team, we're always saying, oh, we're going to resign.
