The congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol doesn’t plan to call former President Donald Trump and is “unlikely” to call former Vice President Mike Pence, either.
Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the committee chair, said it’s “not our expectation” to call Trump since the panel already has heard witnesses relate his actions and behavior.
“We’re not sure that the evidence that we receive can be any more validated with his presence,” Thompson told reporters Tuesday. “I think the concern is whether or not he would add any more value with his testimony.”
