Committee summons Trump to testify

The Investigative Committee of the US House of Representatives on January 6, at its meeting on October 13, subpoenaed former President Donald Trump to testify about the congressional raid.

The committee requested a number of relevant documents from Trump’s lawyers, including personal communications between members of Congress and extremist groups, and an affidavit by the former president by November 14.

On November 12, Trump, through his lawyers, asked a federal court to block the Committee’s subpoena.

The petition states: “Trump, as a former President of the United States, has absolute immunity from being compelled to testify before Congress. Trump’s subpoena should be considered invalid, illegal, and unenforceable as part of an undue interference in executive affairs.” statements have been included.

It is a crime not to answer a call from congressional committees to testify.
