Jan. 6 committee investigating Capitol attack votes to subpoena former President Donald Trump
The vote came during the committee's ninth, and possibly final public hearing, in which lawmakers offered closing arguments, interspersed with witness testimony, highlighting Trump's chaotic efforts to cling to power knowing that the election was lost.Few expect Trump to submit to the committee's summons, a demand that will likely prompt a new round of legal challenges involving the former president.
During Thursday's hearing, lawmakers repeatedly highlighted evidence of Trump's repeated attempts to reject President Joe Biden's victory. “We had an election today – and I won,” according to the draft sent Oct. 31, 2020.". “The ballots counted by the Election Day deadline show the American people have bestowed up on me the great honor of reelection to President of the United States.”
When the Supreme Court rejected his election challenge a month after the vote, documents and witness testimony gathered by the committee offered a troubling account of an increasingly unyielding Trump.
