Lawmakers called Vos to testify based on a July phone call he had with Trump in which he asked Vos to change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election in Wisconsin.
According to previous reports, Trump asked Vos to decertify President Joe Biden's win in the state after the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled against the use of ballot drop boxes.
Vos opposed the calls to decertify the election, which is not legally possible, and he narrowly defeated the Trump-backed challenger.

Trump and some of his allies latched onto the idea of Wisconsin decertifying its election results after the special counsel Vos appointed to investigate the state's election suggested in March that the state should take a "hard look" at doing so. According to the Washington Post, legal experts have said decertification would be impossible and that it would raise a lot of constitutional issues. Vos fired the special counsel 14 months after hiring him to investigate the state's election results. Several Trump allies have been held in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with subpoenas, and Vos is one of a number of Republicans who have opposed the House committee's subpoenas in court.
