Former Trump adviser and retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn has had his request to block a subpoena, issued by House select committee investigating Jan. 6 last month for his testimony and documents, dismissed.

District Judge Mary Scriven dismissed without prejudice Flynn’s request for a temporary restraining order (TRO) to block the subpoena, saying Flynn can refile the case provided certain conditions are met.
