Donald Trump issued a multi-page response to the committee decrying it as a "charade and witch hunt" but still refused to explicitly state if he would comply with the subpoena.
The January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol was investigated by the House Select Committee.
Trump shared a letter he wrote to the chair of the House committee, in which he asserted false claims about fraud in the 2020 election.
There is no due process, no cross-Examination, no real Republican members, and no legitimacy, according to him.
The letter did not explicitly respond to the House committee's subpoena for his testimony and documents, but it was approved during the committee's public televised hearing.
Trump told Fox News that the committee had to try to get publicity by subpoenaing him, but that he wouldn't go along with it.
A source close to the former president told Fox News that he would talk about how corrupt the election was if he testified.
There is no evidence to support claims of widespread election fraud in the 2020 election, and the House January 6 Committee has presented evidence in public hearings that Trump was told there was no evidence to support his claims.
He knew he had lost the election, but he chose to ignore the courts, ignore his campaign leadership, and ignore senior advisers. He wanted to stay in power by ignoring the rule of law.
Is Trump going to comply with the subpoena? Lawmakers are unlikely to hear from him if he doesn't oppose the committee's work, given that any legal battle over the subpoena would likely take months to resolve The House January 6 Committee must be dissolved by the end of the congressional term in December, so that Trump's testimony can be included in the final report. Legal experts think the request for Trump to testify is more symbolic than expected. The Duke University law professor said thatsubpoenaing him is a gesture. The former president won't testify about it.
The House January 6 committee voted to subpoena Trump after months of hearings that laid out the president's legal culpability in the January 6 attack. Lawmakers presented evidence that Trump knew he had lost the election and that he was going to overturn it. The evidence shows that the central cause of January 6 was one man, Donald Trump, according to Liz Cheney. The committee needs to do everything in its power to tell the most complete story possible, despite the fact that Trump is expected to fight the subpoena.
The final hearing of the committee was subpoenaed by lawmakers.
The hearing shows that Trump knew he lost.
The risk of legal Quagmire was caused by the subpoena of Trump.
