January 6 select committee unanimously votes to subpoena former President Donald Trump
Donald Trump says he will issue a response to the 6 January select committee after it issued a subpoena demanding that he testify.
Reacting furiously to yesterday’s hearing, Mr Trump slammed the nine-member panel as a “sham committee” after it voted unanimously to subpoena him. Following the vote, Mr Trump took to Truth Social to ask the “Unselect Committee” why he was not asked to testify “months ago”.
“Why did they wait until the very end, the final moments of their last meeting? “Because the Committee is a total “BUST” that has only served to further divide our Country which, by the way, is doing very badly - A laughing stock all over the World?”
In her opening remarks, committee co-chair Liz Cheney suggested Mr Trump will be held responsible for the events surrounding and leading up to the attack on 6 January 2021 at the US Capitol, noting that he was the “central cause” and that “none of this would have happened without him”.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has denied Mr Trump’s emergency application seeking special master access to classified documents seized at Mar-a-Lago. There were no noted dissents.
