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.”

Love it!
Like Hobbs VS Kari Lake, AZ...Hobbs refused to go public and debate Lake...And Hobbs will lose big.
“I cut the cable too, just last month!
Hoo-Rah!”
Ditto in July. Frontier Comm. Had risen the price for the triple play package to $290 a month. Killed the service other than internet but with a new account for the $40 a month 1 year rate. YouTube TV replaced the cable channels and Ooma VOIP to keep our landline phone number. Now we’re down to $105 a month. It will go to $155 for year two, but we will probably change our internet to Spectrum to get their 1 year promo rate to still keep the year two rate to about $115.
Thanks for your guidance. I will look into those options. :-)
Anybody got a copy of the subpoena - I’d like to see the date Trump is ordered to appear.
Also anyone heard anything lately since Trump threw down the gauntlet?
You’re right. He has to approve the rules also.
My thoughts exactly.
So his legal team will move to quash it, and might succeed.
Very smart winning move by Trump!
God I miss his 4 years as President.. there was so much winning for America and the world. Dictators all over the planet were dissuaded from doing anything stupid.
He had warned us all that there would be non-stop winning during his mandate and that we might not even be able to cope with all the winning! And he truly delivered on that! Clearly the world was at peace. Without Trump it’s now in pieces.
Trump has awaken at least half of America. Conservatism is coming back big time in November thanks to pro-trumpists.
They keep doubling down.
Ah ah i love that from Europe !
Go ahead ! Get them and MAGA AGAIN
The DONALD win again
sank ya! I’m watching
There are always TWO committee meetings.
One behind closed doors, and one for the public consumption.
If the one behind closed doors goes awry, not according to plan, there won’t be a second one............
Brilliantly done by President Trump
Brilliant , just brilliant, and I have been saying he would be very stupid to refuse a subpoena, or make any noises to indicate he was afraid of what they might reveal. He’s got to let them dig their own grave, then gently kick them into it with the toe of his boot.Their questioning will be designed along the lines of “when did you stop beating your wife” of course, and will hammer home all the the verbiage they want to turn into permanent talking points, regardless of whether they have any connection to reality or not.
He has no choice. He will lose no support if her performs poorly in such an rigged arena, but he would lose even more if he refuses to be subpoena’ed. Thats all they need to start the first movements to arrest him. That’s what this process is all about.
No subpoena has been issued yet.
Also anyone heard anything lately since Trump threw down the gauntlet?
He hasn't picked it up and won't be doing so. Nothing is going to come from this, from either side.
