Jan. 6 panel issues subpoena to Trump, demanding he testify

[JustAGuy1]

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol formally issued its extraordinary subpoena o Donald Trump on Friday, demanding testimony from the former president who lawmakers say “personally orchestrated” a multi-part effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

The nine-member panel issued a letter to Trump’s lawyers saying he must testify, either at the Capitol or by videoconference, “beginning on or about” Nov. 14 and continuing for multiple days if necessary. The letter also outlined a request for a series of corresponding documents, including personal communications between Trump and members of Congress as well as extremist groups.

“We recognize that a subpoena to a former president is a significant and historic action,” Chairman Bennie Thompson and Vice Chair Liz Cheney wrote in the letter to Trump. “We do not take this action lightly.”

The panel rooted its action in history, listing past presidents from John Quincy Adams to Gerald Ford who testified before Congress after leaving office -- and noting that even sitting presidents have responded to congressional subpoenas.

Trump would be glad to testify I'm sure. Live on network TV, with a share of the commercial time receipts.

Trump doesn't want the networks to enjoy unjust enrichment here.

It'll be like the Johnny Depp testimony. As long as he's nice to them....they'll look like the lying assholes they are.

There was speculation as to whether or not he could claim executive privilege.

Even though he's no longer the President, they want to question him on an incident which occurred while he was President.

I think he should be able to do that...
