The House January 6 select committee has formally issued a subpoena to compel former president Donald Trump to produce documents by 4 November and appear to give evidence in a sworn deposition before the panel on 14 November, setting up a confrontation between the twice-impeached ex-president and the nine-member panel with just months to go before its mandate expires in January.
In a letter to the former president, select committee chairman Bennie Thompson and vice-chair Liz Cheney said the panel had “assembled overwhelming evidence” that Mr Trump “personally orchestrated and oversaw a multi-part effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election and to obstruct the peaceful transfer of power”.
