The Republican nominee for governor of Pennsylvania is suing the Jan. 6 select committee as President Joe Biden travels to Philadelphia to give a prime-time address on the fight for democracy at Independence Hall.

"In the suit, Mastriano argues that the committee's rules and composition mean it cannot compel witnesses to sit for depositions. Mastriano is asking for declaratory relief — a request for the judge to declare the committee cannot compel him to sit for a deposition — as well as for the panel to pay his attorney's fees," Politico reported.
