House impeachment managers asked former President Donald Trump to testify under oath in his impeachment trial next week.
Lead Impeachment Manager Jamie Raskin sent a letter to Trump, asking he provide testimony under oath, either before or during the Senate impeachment trial, about his conduct on January 6, the day his MAGA supporters stormed the Capitol.
The move by House Democrats is a sign they intend to aggressively prosecute the former president. The House managers do not have independent authority to subpoena Trump so they must invite him to make his case.

And last I checked, in America you cannot be forced to testify against yourself. In criminal trials. This is a civil trial.
To: JerryBlackwell
does the 5th amendment apply to unconstitutional impeachment trials too? No. It's not a criminal trial.
To: DesertRhino
He shouldn’t even show up. Very well said, your entire post. President Trump is a beloved hero, and should stay away from the ones seeking to burn him in a trap.

It has probably been a while since you've been called to active duty, but I'm pinging you to this thread because the title is bugging the heck out of me:
"Democrats demand Trump testifies about his role in MAGA riot"
Shouldn't the verb "testify" be in the subjunctive mood, which is to say, it should read "Democrats demand Trump testify about his role..."?
The caveat is that this is a British publication, and they sometimes do things differently.
What say you, Sensei?

Don’t say a word. Give the one finger salute. NONE of this is legitimate. It seriously is setting a horrifying precedent where a political party/leader(s) can punish opposition as seen in Russia and typical sh*thole countries.

Prosecution should be limited to the witnesses they called in the House hearings.
