Recently we reported that Donald Trump’s spokesperson Taylor Budowich had submitted an emergency request to block the January 6th House Select Committee’s subpoena to JPMorgan Bank requesting Budowich’s bank documents — after the ex-president’s spokesman had already submitted upwards of 1,700 pages of documents to the Committee as part of his cooperation with their investigation into the Capitol riot.
However, CNN now reports that Budowich was a day late and a dollar short with his emergency request to halt the turnover of his banking records as a federal judge slapped down his request today, calling it “moot.”
Crime and justice reporter for CNN, Katelyn Polantz, explained that during the non-public hearing, the judge on the case officially reported that Budowich’s request was “moot.”
“It looks like [Budowich] may have missed a deadline that the bank needed him to go to court and get an order that was an emergency to stop this subpoena from the House,” Polantz explained on a CNN segment this afternoon. “This was significant, the first one we knew about, bank records and this denial we saw today, we don’t have a lot of information about it.”

JPMorgan Bank reportedly told Trump’s spokesperson that they would need an emergency order signed by a judge before 5 p.m. on Christmas Eve evening to prevent them from turning over the documents to the January 6th House Committee. CNN reports that, given that JPMorgan did not receive a signed order from a judge by the deadline, it’s certainly possible that the massive bank may have already handed over the documents to the House Select Committee that was requested in their subpoena to further their investigation into the January 6th Capitol riot and the events that surrounded it.
