The U.S. House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack has voted unanimously to issue a subpoena to Donald Trump to testify, under oath, before them.
“We must seek the testimony, under oath, of Jan. 6th’s central player,” Ranking Member Liz Cheney stated.
“The Jan 6 committee just voted 9-0 to issue a subpoena to Donald Trump, the former president and the man they have proved, pretty definitively, planned the insurrection against the United States that was attempted on January 6, 2021,” tweeted MSNBC’s Joy Reid.
Chairman Bennie Thompson made the argument why Trump must appear.
Ranking Member Cheney said subpoenaing Trump was necessary “to protect our republic.”
A recorded vote was taken, every member said “aye.”
