President Donald Trump has responded after the Democrats’ Jan. 6 Committee officially issued a subpoena for him to testify before Congress.
Trump has reportedly said that he will accept the subpoena and is happy to testify, provided he can do it on live TV.
According to reports, Trump will agree to testify but doesn’t want the Democrats and their allies in the media to selectively edit his video testimony to make him look bad.
NYT correspondent Michael Schmidt said: “Since it became public that the House select committee planned to subpoena Trump for his testimony, the former president has been telling aides he favors doing so, so long as he gets to do so live, according to a person familiar with his discussions.”
New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, who has long-term cooperation with Trump, told CNN’s Jake Tapper:
“In terms of the subpoena, for him, that is actually one of the things that has animated him.
“He’s been talking to advisers about how, you know, he would consider testifying if they would air it live, which is also not surprising…it seems hard to imagine the committee would go for that.”

They should have to answer his questions as well and they should be legally liable for obstruction of justice or purgery if they hide or lie. But what should happen has little bearing on what they will agree to.
Trump set the trap and they stepped in it, they deny his request they look like the evil cowards they are and if they accept he can rip them apart!
Reminds me of that old saying.
When you have them by the ba*ls their hearts and minds will follow.
Reality is what it is.....lol
Totally agree
And there should be no commercial breaks or cutting away from the President or voiceovers by talking heads
1000+!
Furthermore, God doesn’t need elections to determine results. 😁
This Jan 6 crappola will end when a Republican Congress is seated. Hopefully they strip the current set of Democrats from committees of any significance (e.g. the intel committee).
That all remember how Megan Kelly was going to end his candidacy on live TV. He completely destroyed her and her career in a single response.
They remember his mic-drop on Hillary “because you’d be in jail”.
They remember him filling the front seats with Bill Clintins rape victims.
They’ll never agree. They are already angry that they issued a subpoena... and he decides its a negotiation. LOL
” They will only ask him embarrassing questions, and they can rule him out of order if they don’t like what he’s saying.”
Ask Megan Kelly how that worked out for her.
So? This is a fight. This is a cage death match for the fate of our nation. DC is filled with cowards. Nunez knew it was bullcrap early on, but would never come out and say what he saw in the SCIF. Might get charged ya know...
Many others did the same.
Nobody will risk a charge or a job to win the fight.
Soldiers often lose their very life for the country. DC is filled with cowards who won’t risk a criminal charge or a career.
But Trump will charge right in.
Almost like he is risking his life, fortune and sacred honor. Good man... all in. Eff em all!
Pelosi is clever. She won’t have dopes on the committee do any more than basic questioning. The bulk of the Qs will be done by the committee counsels. And their Qs will be phrased to limit Trump’s responses and not let him speechify.
How can they say no when they have already aired most of it live????!!!!
Seems risky after what they did to Mike Flynn. The standard for the charge of lying to Congress is so low.
He has to show up or they will perp walk him in cuffs like Bannon.
Even if it is live is he still only permitted to answer their loaded questions, or can he go off on a tangent?
And that’s hy it is my favorite.
That would be awesome!
