Jan. 6 committee plans to vote to subpoena Trump during hearing, NBC reports

U.S. Capitol Police Sergeant Aquilino Gonell and Metropolitan Police Department officer Daniel Hodges, who were both injured defending the Capitol and members of Congress on January 6, 2021, watch as the U.S. House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol play a video of former President Donald Trump declaring that he won the presidential election on election night of 2020 during their public hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, October 13, 2022.

NBC News reported that the House select committee will vote to subpoena the former president during the public hearing.

Sources told NBC that the committee was considering subpoenaing Trump.

Over the course of its investigation, the bipartisan panel has issued more than 100 subpoenas and interviewed more than 1,000 people.

Most of the witnesses have complied with the committee's requests. Steve Bannon was found guilty of contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena to testify.

Bennie Thompson said in his opening statement that Thursday's presentation is not a hearing but a formal committee business meeting so members can vote on further investigative action.

The spokesman for the select committee didn't confirm the plan to subpoena the former president. The spokeswoman for Trump didn't comment immediately.

The ninth public hearing of the committee took a broad look at the findings from their investigation.

The nine-member panel kept the spotlight on Trump as it played clips of his former staffers who testified that they knew at the time that Trump had lost the election.

The committee is tasked with probing the facts and causes of the January 6, 2021, riot, when a violent mob of Trump's supporters invaded the Capitol and forced lawmakers to flee their chambers for safety.
