CNN) The House January 6 committee is withdrawing its subpoena of former President Donald Trump as it concludes its work. "In light of the imminent end of our investigation, the Select Committee can no longer pursue the specific information covered by the subpoena," Chairman Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, wrote in a letter to Trump's attorney Wednesday obtained by CNN. "Therefore, through this letter, I hereby formally withdraw the subpoena issued to former President Trump, and notify you that he is no longer obligated to comply or produce records in response to said subpoena," Thompson added. The committee subpoenaed Trump in October for documents and testimony related to its investigation into the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. Trump responded by suing the committee to block the subpoena. The committee had already dropped a number of subpoenas related to other witnesses as it winds down its work. Still, Trump seized on the subpoena withdrawal on his social media platform, claiming: "They probably did so because they knew I did nothing wrong, or they were about to lose in Court." The committee wrapped up its investigation by referring Trump to the Justice Department for potential criminal prosecution on four separate charges. The panel's referrals, however, hold no legal weight. And the Justice Department has already been scrutinizing Trump as part of its probe into January 6 and efforts to overturn the 2020 election. A spokesperson for the House committee declined to comment.

thank you Harmeet Dhillon and her legal team.
Hope springs eternal
What a joke our government is.
Now that we have the house it is time to work together and end the division in this country. /s
What’s CNN going to report on now? Talk abort Trump Derangement Syndrome.
“What’s CNN going to report on now?”
...dems got what they wanted and are quite prepared to steal the 2024 elections I’m sure. Frankly, I’m not that sure they need to steal elections anymore. With the massive influx of illegals, the millions on government hand outs and with the Roe v Wade ruling, they may be safe from here on out.
The DOJ will still indict Trump. Garland is a tool for the left and will do their bidding, just like the Mar-a-Lago raid that yielded nothing.
Agree but it is a representation of the people. I’m losing faith in (a good portion) our people.
Can’t understand why so many seem oblivious to signs of conspiracy. Example starting the Jan 6 hearings right about the time the midterm election campaigning started in earnest.
So many people think of conspiracy as having to be extraordinary and radical..like UFOs or killing Kennedy. It’s really much more simple.
Conspiracy: the action of plotting —definition
We need to mimic the process and procedures followed by the J6 committee and train the focus on Nancy Pelosi and the J6 Committee itself (all members, all staff, all family members of all Committee and Staff) to mine out all communications (messages, files, devices) to expose the operations and internal deliberations of the Committee, including particularly their contact with media, in full, and post it as an archive on the internet for historians and researchers to peruse. I want to see all communications and contract details with the television producer who was hired to stage the hearings, I want to see all e-mails that producer received from any source in the year before J6 and to date following.
What the J6 Committe and its actions exposed was an oversight in the Constitution. Whereas elsewhere individuals are protected by Constitutional rights against unreasonable investigations and seizures of personal information - this does not apply to the investigations of Congress, when pursuing a legitimate legislative purpose. That definition (legislative purpose) is expandable to enable swallowing the universe, so there is no end to it, apparently. Well, what was good for the Goose is good for the Gander, and now it is (just about) time for the GOP controlled House to wield the same power.
“What’s CNN going to report on now? Talk abort Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
CNN is going to report on the Nazi tactics of the Republicans once they begin issuing subpoenas to Ray Epps and members of the J6 for lying to the American people.
Excellent post. Thank you for it.
However, I don’t believe the stupid Party will do so. Not with McCarthy in charge.
Bingo.
And in so doing they acknowledge their efforts are unsustainable in a politically balanced environment and their campaign a witch hunt.
It sounds like the JSix bozos still haven’t been able to come up with any “insurrection.” It was just another RAT wet dream.
They didnt bother to investigate the stop the steal.
And did they interview Sydney Powell.
And they didnt investigate the Hugo Chavez-Dominion scheme.
And the Italian satellites.
What a joke.
They knew it from the get-go. All a dog and pony show. Actors playing their parts for political theatre. That is what they do!
This FBI JSix operation was just another far left operation to help the RATS steal another erection like they did in 2020.
