House investigators are unlikely to call former President Donald Trump to testify about his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection
Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, the Democratic chairman of the nine-member panel investigating the attack, said Tuesday that it's “not our expectations" to call Trump, whose supporters broke into the U.S. Capitol that day and interrupted the certification of President Joe Biden's victory.
“We’re not sure that the evidence that we receive can be any more validated with his presence,” Thompson said. “I think the concern is whether or not he would add any more value with his testimony.” Thompson said testimony from Pence would be “significant,” but that the committee is still speaking with the former vice president's lawyers. He said it's unclear whether Pence will eventually sit for an interview.
