Summary
This document is Page 4 of a legal letter from the law firm Covington to Senators Richard Burr and Mark Warner (Senate Intelligence Committee), dated May 22, 2017. It argues that a subpoena issued to General Michael Flynn is overly broad and that complying with it would violate his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination because the Committee lacks 'reasonable particularity' regarding the existence of the documents. The text details specific subpoena demands for records of Flynn's meetings and communications with Russian officials and the Trump campaign between 2015 and 2017. Note: Despite the user prompt, this document pertains to the Russia investigation/Michael Flynn, not Jeffrey Epstein.
