The House of Representatives investigative committee, made up of seven Democrats and two Republicans, voted unanimously to subpoena Trump for the former US president to testify under oath about the Capitol attack.
The investigative committee of the US House of Representatives on the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol has voted to subpoena Donald Trump. Should the former US president fail to comply, then he could face a prison sentence.
The House of Representatives investigative committee, made up of seven Democrats and two Republicans, voted unanimously to subpoena Trump for the former US president to testify under oath about the Capitol attack.
“He is the person at the center of what unfolded on January 6, 2021. So we want to hear from him,” said committee chairman Benny Thompson.
Under federal law, failure to comply with a subpoena to testify is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 12 months in prison. If the committee requests a subpoena and it is ignored, the full House is asked to vote on whether to refer the case to the Justice Department to decide whether to press charges.
The House of Representatives investigative committee is investigating the events of January 6, 2021, when supporters of Donald Trump stormed the Capitol to block the ratification of Joe Biden’s election victory.
