Thompson said in a statement that he will soon appear for an initial deposition after the records have been turned over.

The first round of subpoenas was issued by the committee, and they gave him a deadline to turn over documents, but he wouldn't comply.

After the deposition, the committee will assess his degree of compliance with the subpoena.

Dozens of Trump officials and advisors, including top figures like press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, senior advisor Stephen Miller and former chief strategist Steve Bannon, have been subpoenaed by the committee, requiring them to turn over documents and appear for depositions. Even though contempt charges could be brought against those who don't comply with a subpoena, Trump has discouraged most of his associates from cooperating. The committee has brought contempt proceedings against two former Trump officials. The full House voted in favor of contempt charges against Bannon on October 21 after the committee unanimously voted in favor of the recommendation. The first person indicted for contempt of Congress since 1983 was Bannon, who was indicted by the Justice Department on November 12. The committee is going to vote on holding Clark in contempt.
