Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) said Wednesday on CNN’s “Situation Room” that the House Select Committee on the January 6 Capitol riots will have to hear testimony from former President Donald Trump.
Guest host Jim Acosta asked, “House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accepted three of McCarthy’s picks for this committee. What does it tell you, and how do you respond from McCarthy pulling all of them?”
Khanna said, “It’s so unfortunate Speaker Pelosi has appointed a bipartisan commission with Liz Cheney on it. She wanted this to be bipartisan to get to the facts. Look I served with Representative Jim Jordan on the Oversight Committee. If Someone tried to take him off The Oversight Committee, I would say no. He has every right to be on the Oversight Committee. But you can’t have people who have said that there wasn’t an insurrection be on a committee to investigate an insurrection. It’s not personal. It’s factual.”
Acosta asked, “On the January 6 Committee, should they try to bring in former President Trump to testify?
Khanna replied, “Yes, I don’t see how you don’t! They should bring in every relevant person to the hearings. It should be bipartisan, it should be factual. But how can you say that President Trump, who was giving speeches encouraging people to go into the Capitol, isn’t a material witness?”

Bring it on, bitches.
Let Trump testify. He can point out the dem hypocrisy that Jan 6 political prisoners have been in jail for months while ANTIFA and BLM never spent time in jail. Let Trump speak about how evil the dems are. Let Trump talk.
If Trump personally goes to DC, they will arrest and lock him up.
I don’t think that would be in their best interest...
She lies. I watched all the video that day, and President Trump DID NOT SAY TO THE CROWD TO ENTER THE CAPITOL BUILDING!!!
If they push this the ensure Trump an even bigger base than he has now...
No way these twits will get what they think they will if they want to make another day or two news cycles about Trump calling them on their crap
No longer in office. Guess they could make him testify. I’d tell them to kiss my front during questioning. Who wins when the Jerry Springer element arrives.
Soviet show trial commences.
Pelosi and the Democrats are about to bury the constitution
Pelosi’s rejection of Republican nominees to the “commission” has set the template for 2023 if Republicans regain the House. They can hold their OWN Jan 6 commission (and a commission for the 2020 summer riots), where THEY will disallow democrat nominees, AND, compel testimony from Pelosi.
Yeah that's not going to happen.
Trying to get President Trump to testify will just ensure that this goes on and on and on into 2022.
Peach Fo Fi again
Deport the Indian alien “Ro” Khanna
Have they dug up Judge Freisler to preside over it?
Trump was at a Rally so get stuffed
According to Pelosi, the rejections were made out of “respect for the integrity of the investigation.”
If he did go he would be bombarded with question/statements and never have a chance to say a word
