premise: Subsequently, the reporters were, if memory serves, approximately eight days ago, subpoenaed to testify by the plaintiffs in the case-in-chief. Yet another motion to quash or for alternative relief was filed by the reporters through Mr. Benn's office.
hypothesis: The reporters were subpoenaed to testify less than a week ago, according to this person's memory.
reason: According to this person's memory, they were subpoenaed approximately 8 days ago, which is not less than a week ago. It's difficult because the text mentions days, whereas the statement mentions weeks, so this might have confused the system.
