This subpoena only became public in September 2017.

According to BuzzFeed on 15 October 2017:
Trump’s response to
Zervos’s motion is due Oct. 31, according to Zervos’s attorney, Gloria Allred.
In a statement Allred said: “We are hopeful that the court will deny President
Trump’s motion to dismiss, so that we may move forward with discovery and
obtain relevant documents and testimony.”
The original compliant and jury demand was lodged in the Supreme Court Of The State Of New York County Of New York in January 2017 as Summer Zervos v Donald J. Trump.
UPDATE
Trump's response has been reported in the media as characterising his allegedly defamatory statements, about private citizen Summer Zervos, as political opinion protected under the US Constitution.
