Colin Kaepernick and his lawyers are reportedly expected to seek a subpoena of President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence to force them to testify in his collusion case against the NFL.
Kaepernick’s team is attempting to show any potential influence the Trump administration had on Kaepernick’s free agency.
Kaepernick contends teams colluded to not sign him due to his protests against racial inequality and police brutality during the national anthem in the 2016 season.
Per Robinson, Kaepernick’s team has learned that some NFL owners had direct conversations with Trump regarding player protests during the anthem. The purpose of subpoenaing Trump and Pence is to find if the Trump administration applied any pressure to NFL teams to avoid Kaepernick.
Trump and Pence have both been vocal opponents of protesting during the anthem.
