Kaepernick's legal team is expected to try to subpoena the president and ABC's Ryan Smith is here with the latest. Good morning, Ryan. Reporter: Good morning. An incredible development. Quarterback Colin Kaepernick is taking his fight to the white house hoping to put president Donald Trump under oath in his case against the NFL. ABC news has confirmed the former San Francisco 49er quarterback will ask for a subpoena if he won't testify voluntarily in the case to hopefully help prove their allegations that the league and team owners colluded to keep Kaepernick off an NFL roster after he began kneeling during the national anthem in 2016. And that the president's comments about the controversy kept him sidelined.
