The House Committee investigating last year’s assault on the U.S. Capitol said Wednesday it had subpoenaed former White House Counsel Pat Cipollone to appear on July 6 for a closed-door deposition.
“The Select Committee’s investigation has revealed evidence that Mr. Cipollone repeatedly raised legal and other concerns about President Trump’s activities on Jan. 6th and in the days that preceded,” said Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson in a statement.
Thompson wrote that Cipollone has informally engaged with the committee, but that “the committee needs to hear from him on the record, as other former White House counsels have done in other congressional investigations.”
