Defense attorneys for five Proud Boys leaders intend to call former President Donald Trump to testify as a witness in their clients’ ongoing seditious conspiracy trial.
It remains unclear if the attorneys' effort will succeed, however. The defense team will have to deal with the logistical difficulties of serving a former president and current presidential candidate. Trump could also move to quash the subpoena, leading to more litigation.
As Donald Trump lost a legal fight over the 2020 election results, messages show members of his inner circle were in contact with members of extremist groups like the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, and that many supporters brought weapons to Washington on Jan. 6. Javed Ali, former senior director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council, joins LX News to discuss the security concerns revealed in the latest Jan. 6 committee hearing.
