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.

There are government apparatciks who should do hard time for what was done to those who were incarcerated without bail or grand jury or trial proceedings.
So true
With the chances of Trump becoming President again continuing to drop, at this point I don’t expect him to ever actually be indicted, either. He got a big surge of sympathy support when his resort got raided, which I’m sure they want to avoid happening again. He’s got just enough support to cause havoc in the primary, but not enough to win the general, which is just where they want him. It’ll be held over his head till the very end, though.
Yeah, right. Who is that Desantis guy again?
I won’t be surprised if Trump wins the nomination, he just has no chance in the general if he does. He’s lost too many people along the way, and both he and his supporters would rather berate those aren’t so sure about him anymore, than try to lure them back. Trump is like Mike Tyson, after he lost his punch.
Oh BS. The economy and other things will be so bad Trump is going to beat the margin of fraud. You are projecting Free Republic mass TDS psychosis on to the rest of the electorate.
FR was one of the last places that was completely loyal to Trump. If you think it’s bad here, you need to get out more.
Yeah. Ok. Most normals don’t bother posting to political sites. All of my friends and family are still ardent Trump supportors.
As far as you know. Based on your incessant berating of anyone who doesn’t display complete subservience to all things Trump, they probably just figured it’s the only way to even interact with you.
I predict that you will be voting for Trump in Nov. ‘24.
Get used to the idea.
Where else are you going to go?
