Outgoing Nevada Secretary of State, Barbara Cegavske, was served a subpoena last month as part of the U.S. Department of Justice’s special counsel’s investigation into the 2020 election controversy.

Cegavske was ordered to produce or appear in federal court.

“any and all communications in any form” between June 1, 2020, and Jan. 20, 2021, “to, from, or involving” Trump, his campaign, lawyers, and aides, including former campaign officials and lawyers such as Sidney Powell and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.“

Cegavske’s office turned over an October 2020 Zoom meeting invite between the office and Nevada GOP chair Michael McDonald.

The FBI seized McDonald’s phone before the 2022 midterm elections.

Cegavske’s spokesperson, Jennifer Russell, said:

“Out of an abundance of caution, we included communications with the NVGOP and RNC in our search, and that was the only record found during the time frame in question,”

The subpoenas are from Jack Smith, who was named special counsel last month by Attorney General Merrick Garland. SOS officials in Wisconsin, Georgia, Michigan, and Arizona received subpoenas as well. Clark County also received a subpoena.
