Jan. 6 Capitol Riot Committee Subpoenas Former President Donald Trump
CNBC ^ | 08/21/22 | Dan Mangan

Former President Donald Trump was issued a subpoena Friday by the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

The committee, which voted unanimously on the move, is demanding Trump’s testimony under oath next month as well as records relevant to the probe into the attack, which the panel noted came after weeks of him denying losing the 2020 election to President Joe Biden.

 The panel had said on Oct. 13 that it would subpoena Trump, whose supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as a joint session of Congress met to confirm Biden’s victory.

“We recognize that a subpoena to a former President is a significant and historic action,” the panel’s leaders wrote Trump in a letter Friday.

“We do not take this action lightly.”

Committee Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and Republican Vice Chairwoman Liz Cheney of Wyoming, in the letter cited what they called Trump’s central role in a deliberate, “multi-part effort” to reverse his loss in the 2020 presidential election, and to remain in power.

The subpoena says that Trump would be deposed on Nov. 14, after the midterm elections.

 

It is not clear whether Trump will comply with the subpoena.

And Liz laughed when it was announced and Kinzinger cried when it was announced.

"Republican Vice Chairwoman Liz Cheney of Wyoming in a letter to Trump cited what they called his central role in a deliberate effort to reverse his loss in the 2020 presidential election, and to remain in power."

LOL. If Trump was actually going to try and do that he would not have used these clowns.

How ironic that Cheney expressed concern about Trump’s actions to remain in power yet she has shown herself willing to do almost anything to keep her own position. She’s a hypocrite of the highest order and is therefore a natural fit for the Democrat Party.

she is going to campaign against Kari Lake and calls her VERY DANGEROUS!

"Jan. 6 Capitol Riot Committee Subpoenas Former President Donald Trump

That should help bolster the precedent needed to subpoena obama, clinton and obama. It's now legitimate to impeach ex-presidents thanks to demRATs.

He can afford the best legal talent. However, the Dims have appealed to or intimidated most of it. He may be having difficulty finding someone willing to represent him. And then there is the age old problem of clients not listening to their lawyer.
