Former US President Donald Trump Ordered To Testify To January 6 Committee

Trump subpoena: Former President Donald Trump has been issued a legal summons by the congressional panel investigating last year's Capitol riot.

Trump's lawyers were issued a letter by the nine-member panel, saying he must testify, either at the Capitol or by videoconference, “beginning on or about” Nov. 14 and continuing for multiple days if necessary.

The subpoena is ordering Trump to testify to lawmakers. Donald Trump is been accused by lawmakers of “personally orchestrated” a multi-part effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Chairman Bennie Thompson and Vice Chair Liz Cheney wrote in the letter to Trump:

"We recognize that a subpoena to a former president is a significant and historic action,”

“We do not take this action lightly.”

The document also reads: "You were at the center of the first and only effort by any US President to overturn an election."

It continues: "You knew this activity was illegal and unconstitutional."

Trump could face criminal charges if he does not comply with the subpoena.

A lawyer to Trump is accusing the lawmakers on the committee of "flouting norms".

Trump has strongly criticized the move. With the US getting ready for midterm elections next month, Trump characterized the inquiry as a gimmick, a move designed to distract voters from the "disaster" of Democratic governance.

Trump must appear for deposition testimony on or about 14 November 2022.

He has until 4 November to provide documents to the 6 January committee,

The committee could refer the matter to the Department of Justice thereby, potentially igniting criminal proceedings against the former US President, this will be triggered in a situation where Trump declines to testify to Congress or hand over the requested materials.
