BREAKING: Former President Donald Trump to be subpoenaed by Jan. 6 panel.
"Thanks to the tireless work of our members and investigators, we have left no doubt, none, that Donald Trump led an effort to upend American democracy that directly resulted in the violence of Jan. 6," said Rep. Bennie Thompson, the committee's chairman."He tried to take away the voice of the American people in choosing their president and replace the will of the voters with his will to remain in power. He is the one person at the center of the story of what happened on Jan.
Thompson told reporters ahead of the proceedings that the committee had"not ruled out" subpoenaing Trump. While delivering an opening statement at the start of the hearing, he noted it was a formal committee business meeting, allowing members to"potentially hold a committee vote on further investigative action based upon that evidence."
But asked whether the committee would subpoena the former vice president, Thompson on Thursday said"no." Trump will likely challenge a subpoena issued by the select committee. In the past, he has asked the federal courts to intervene in efforts by the congressional Democrats to obtain his tax returns and financial records, as well as the select committee's attempt to get Trump's White House records from the National Archives and Records Administration.
House investigators held eight public hearings through the summer, with Thursday's proceeding, their ninth, likely to be its last. Cheney said during opening remarks that the focus of the meeting is Trump's"state of mind, his intent, his motivations, and how he spurred others to do his bidding."
