The House’s select committee probing the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump won’t hesitate to subpoena members of Congress or Trump, said the panel’s chairman

the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol

by supporters of former President Donald Trump won’t hesitate to subpoena members of Congress or Mr. Trump, and will try to enforce the subpoenas in court if necessary, said the panel’s chairman. “Anybody who had a conversation with the White House and officials in the White House while the invasion of the Capitol was going on is directly in the investigative sights of the committee,” said Rep. Bennie Thompson in an interview ahead of the panel’s first public hearing on Tuesday. He said that could include subpoenas to compel testimony, as well as records related to phone calls and other communications.

Pressed on whether the Democratic-led committee would subpoena Mr. Trump, Mr. Thompson said nobody was off limits. “I don’t want to name him, but what I will say is that in the conversations we’ve had as a committee, there’s been no reluctance whatsoever to go where the facts lead us,” he said.

Mr. Trump, who has denied wrongdoing, was impeached by the House on the charge he incited an insurrection at the Capitol.

Predictable

How many investigations do we need. Isn't that what the FBI & Justice Dept have been doing. Don't these folks have something more important to do. Another Democratic dog & pony show.

No doubt this congressional committee will live up to our expectations!

Here's a great story for you guys. 85% of the trades for amc were conducted off the market.

That’s what a real investigation does.

Why is Bennie Thompson chairman, since he tried to block certification of Ohio in 2004 while spreading conspiracy nonsense?
