The January 6 committee likely won't subpoena Trump because he would probably drag it out in court, political observers say

Two political observers said Thursday that Donald Trump would likely fight the summons in court and drag out the process if he were issued a subpoena to appear before the committee.

"I don't think they're going to subpoena Donald Trump, because you'll end up in court and it will drag out," Kasich said.

The House committee investigating the Capitol attack is still considering an interview with either President Donald Trump or Vice President Mike Pence, according to a congressman.

According to a New York Times reporter, other January 6 Committee members may not see things the same way.

She said it would be difficult to get former President Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence to comply with a subpoena.

I think it's an option that they don't want to take.

According to the Journal, the January 6 committee met to discuss if it wanted to get testimony from the vice president.

The chairman of the committee told the outlet that a decision had not been made.

Kasich thinks that Pence might be more willing to attend an interview than to testify.

He could be willing to do something or he could be willing to say something. Kasich thinks it's in the country's interest to hear the full story from him.

July 21 is the date for the next prime time hearing.

The hearings presented testimony from close Trump allies and aides, as well as clips from interviews with former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson and Attorney General William Bar.

The hearings on the Capitol riot may not take place until the fall according to Kasich and Haberman.

Many people have agreed to go to the committee because of the broken dam. Kasich said that people can feel more confident going.
