Overview
- Duggar’s attorneys filed a motion asking a Florida judge to subpoena Department of Children and Families and Child Protection Team staff, along with other agencies, for depositions and records.
- A judge has not ruled on the request, which could trigger fights over Florida rules that shield child-abuse investigation files.
- The defense says it is entitled to witness testimony and investigative files to test the state’s evidence and prepare for trial.
- Investigators recorded a forensic interview in which the now 14-year-old reported several incidents during a 2020 Panama City Beach trip when she was 9.
- Duggar has pleaded not guilty and is free on a $600,000 bond as the girl’s family reports housing and job losses and continues to support her.
