One week after the House Select committee subpoenaed the former top White House attorney, Pat Cipollone agreed to testify.

Multiple news outlets are reporting that Cipollone will testify under oath for a videotaped interview on Friday.
The January 6 committee subpoenaed Cipollone at the end of last month and set July 6 as the date for the deposition, but the interview date was extended until July 8.
People close to Cipollone have warned that his cooperation may be limited due to attorney-client privilege, but committee investigators have emphasized the importance of his testimony.
Forbes asked for comment from the January 6 committee, but they didn't reply immediately.
Cipollone sat for an "informal interview" in April but didn't show up again, leading to the committee issuing a subpoena. In December of last year, Cipollone joined the White House. Cipollone argued against Trump taking questionable actions like seizing voting machines and sending false letters about election fraud after he lost the election. The committee was interested in speaking with Cipollone because he and his office tried to do what was right, according to the vice chair. A number of President Trump's plans were stopped.
January 6 committee members urged Cipollone to voluntarily appear before the committee as the hearings on the committee's findings have intensified, particularly after the public testimony from former senior aide to then-White House Chief of Staff MarkMeadows. Cipollone was concerned about the actions of Trump and Meadows. If Trump went to the Capitol on January 6, Cipollone told Hutchinson, he would be charged with everything. The American people deserve to hear from Mr. Cipollone personally, according to Cheney.
Pat Cipollone, Trump White House Counsel, was subpoenaed by the committee.
The biggest bombshells of Tuesday's hearing were from Trump attacking security to throwing a plate at a wall.
