The House Select Committee officially issued a subpoena to testify before the panel to former President Trump on Friday morning.
Last week, the committee investigating the Jan. 6th Capitol riot voted unanimously to subpoena during what could be its last public hearing last week.
“As demonstrated in our hearings, we have assembled overwhelming evidence, including from dozens of your former appointees and staff, that you personally orchestrated and oversaw a multi-part effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election and to obstruct the peaceful transition of power,” Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) and Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) wrote in a joint statement.

Trump responded to the subpoena last and decried the move as a continuation of Democrats’ partisan witch-hunt against him.
“The Unselect Committee has willfully ignored the fact that days before January 6, 2021, I recommended and authorized thousands of troops to be deployed to ensure that there was peace, safety, and security at the Capitol and throughout Washington, D.C. on January 6th because I knew, just based on instinct and what I was hearing, that the crowd coming to listen to my speech, and various others, would be a very big one, far bigger than anyone thought possible,” Trump wrote.
Despite Trump’s ire towards the House panel a source close to the former president insists he “loves the idea of testifying.” The source told Fox News, that if Trump does in fact testify he plans to “talk about how corrupt the election was, how corrupt the committee was, and how Nancy Pelosi did not call up the National Guard that Trump strongly recommended for her to do three days earlier on January 3, 2021.”
Come on midterms
Get ALL j6 evidence
Have MAGA audience attending
Then cut loose like mad
The DIShonorable Beetle Thompson and the DIShonorable Lizard Cheney, corrupt creatures of The Swamp: what goes around will COME around!
Nancy Pelosi will never take responsibility for the harm that she has done to the American people. She has used the privileges given to her for self empowerment and capital gains. She’s an arrogant and bitter individual who does not deserve the respect that her position affords her.
