J6 Committee Officially Demands Trump Testify
After voting unanimously to approve a subpoena at their last hearing, the House select committee probing the events of January 6th officially filed their demand for testimony and records from former President Donald Trump on Friday afternoon, giving Trump the opportunity, if he complies, to speak directly to the Democrats (plus outgoing GOP Reps. Liz Cheney (WY) and Adam Kinzinger (IL) on the committee as well as the American people.
In the subpoena addressed to Trump (embedded un full below), the J6 committee said the subpoena “calls for testimony regarding your dealings with multiple individuals who have now themselves invoked their Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination regarding their communications with you,” actions the committee stated “related directly to [Trump] and [his] conduct. They provide specific examples where your truthful testimony under oath will be important,” the committee explained.
“We recognize that a subpoena to a former President is a significant and historic action,” the committee’s letter continues, claiming “We do not take this action lightly. But as you likely know, you would not be the first former president to testify before Congress or to receive a congressional subpoena,” the letter states before listing former president stretching from John Quincy Adams to Gerald Ford. The committee, of course, doesn’t acknowledge the fact that their select committee and its goal of taking down the former president differs from the other former presidents and their appearances before congressional committees.
