The House Jan. 6 select committee issued a subpoena to former President Trump, ordering him to produce documents by Nov. 4 and appear for a deposition by Nov. 14.
Committee members voted unanimously at their last hearings Oct. 13 to subpoena the former president as part of its investigation into what led to the insurrection. The subpoena was delivered to his lawyers Friday.
“As demonstrated in our hearings, we have assembled overwhelming evidence, including from dozens of your former appointees and staff, that you personally orchestrated and oversaw a multi-part effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election and to obstruct the peaceful transition of power,” the letter states.
Over months of hearings, the committee has argued that blame for the insurrection should be placed squarely on Trump’s efforts to stay in power despite knowing he’d lost the election. Trump has not said whether he will provide documents and testimony as required, but he is expected to challenge the subpoena.
With just over two months left before the committee is set to disband, any fighting over logistics around Trump’s possible appearance means a diminishing chance that the public might hear firsthand from the former president as part of the committee’s final report.
