January 6 panel issues subpoena to Donald Trump
The Hindu
The nine-member panel issued a letter to Mr. Trump's lawyers, demanding his testimony under oath by November 14.
The House committee investigating the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol issued a subpoena Friday to Donald Trump, exercising its subpoena power against the former President who lawmakers say is the “central cause” of a coordinated, multi-part effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The nine-member panel issued a letter to Mr. Trump's lawyers, demanding his testimony under oath by November 14 and outlining a request for a series of corresponding documents, including personal communications between the former president and members of Congress as well as extremist groups.
“We recognise 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 Mr. Trump. “We do not take this action lightly.”
It is unclear how Mr. Trump and his legal team will respond to the subpoena.
