The House Jan. 6 committee voted unanimously Thursday to subpoena former president Donald Trump, demanding his testimony as it showed new video from his closest aides describing his multi-part plan to overturn his 2020 election loss.
A video of then-President Donald Trump speaking is displayed as the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol holds a hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, Thursday, Oct. 13, 2022. The House Jan. 6 committee voted unanimously Thursday to subpoena former president Donald Trump, demanding his testimony as it showed new video from his closest aides describing his multi-part plan to overturn his 2020 election loss.
With new details and evidence, including from the former president’s Cabinet secretaries and U.S. Secret Service, the panel showed Trump was told repeatedly by those around him that the election was over, yet he still orchestrated the far-reaching effort to stop Biden from taking office.In other new video, the panel showed previously unseen footage of congressional leaders phoning officials for help during Capitol siege.
Earlier, in never-before-seen Secret Service messages, the panel produced evidence that extremist groups provided the muscle in the fight for Trump’s presidency, planning weeks before the attack to send a violent force to Washington. The committee could make a decision on whether to make a criminal referral to the Justice Department.
“Just fyi. POTUS is pissed,” the Secret Service wrote, according to documents obtained by the committee. Thursday’s session was serving as a closing argument for the panel’s two Republican lawmakers, Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, who have essentially been shunned by Trump and their party and will not be returning in the new Congress. Cheney lost her primary election, and Kinzinger decided not to run.
