Rep. Liz Cheney, vice chair of the House January 6 committee, said the panel is 'in discussions' with Trump's attorneys for him to testify under oath
The House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, insurrection is “in discussions” with former President Donald Trump’s attorneys about testifying under oath in the probe, Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the vice chairwoman of the panel, said Tuesday. Trump faces a Friday deadline to respond to the committee’s subpoena for documents, and a November 14 deadline for testimony.
It’ll be done, potentially, over multiple days,” Cheney said, adding that this is not a situation where the committee finds itself at the “mercy of Donald Trump.” CNN previously reported that Trump’s lawyers had accepted service of the committee’s subpoena but Cheney’s comments are the first indication that discussion between the two sides have begun. CNN is reaching out to Trump’s legal team on Cheney’s comments Tuesday.
