The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol issued a subpoena Friday to Donald Trump.The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol issued a subpoena Friday to Donald Trump, exercising its subpoena power against the former president who lawmakers say "personally orchestrated" a multi-part effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The nine-member panel issued a letter to Trump's lawyers, demanding his testimony under oath by Nov. 14 and outlining a request for a series of corresponding documents, including personal communications between the former president and members of Congress as well as extremist groups. "We recognize that a subpoena to a former President is a significant and historic action," Chairman Bennie Thompson and Vice Chair Liz Cheney wrote in the letter to Trump. "We do not take this action lightly."
It is unclear how Trump and his legal team will respond to the subpoena. He could comply or negotiate with the committee, announce he will defy the subpoena or ignore it altogether. He could also go to court and try to stop it. The subpoena is the latest and most striking escalation in the House committee's 15-month investigation of the deadly Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection, bringing members of the panel into direct conflict with the man they have investigated from afar through the testimony of aides, allies and associates.

This is such a crock of shit, all to take peoples attention away from the disaster that is our mumbling fool President and the state our Country is becoming, a Communist cesspool.
There was nothing unplanned about this action. Love or hate Trump, this is 100% political theater 3 wks before a midterm. J6 was 21 mths ago and we neutralize our 'threats to democracy' way faster than that. Convict him, but don't gaslight us.
Still nothing on Hunter Biden Disgrace of a news station.

Donald Trump subpoenaed: Jan. 6 panel demands former president testify'We recognize that a subpoena to a former President is a significant and historic action,' Chairman Bennie Thompson and Vice Chair Liz Cheney wrote in the letter to Trump. 'We do not take this action lightly.' Good. Let him martyr himself even more AND embarrass them on live TV with historic tv numbers to boot. These democrats will never learn to see passed their “orange man bad” angry feelings at Trump. This will fire up his base hardcore. I say let’s get it done before Election Day. Lock his ass up
