WASHINGTON — Donald Trump wouldn’t be permitted to appear live on television before the Jan. 6 committee, which has subpoenaed him to testify on his role in last year’s attack on the U.S. Capitol, Rep. Liz Cheney said.
“He’s not going to turn this into a circus,” Cheney, a Wyoming Republican and the committee’s vice chair, said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “This is a far too serious set of issues.”
The committee issued the subpoena last week, also demanding extensive records of the former president’s communications during the election fight. Trump issued a 14-page response that didn’t say whether he’d comply. The New York Times reported that he has told aides that he favors testifying but only if it appeared on live television.
