Democrats Say They Might Subpoena Donald Trump

(UnitedReader.com) – Six months after his term as president ended, Donald Trump still finds himself in the Democrats’ crosshairs. Now, the Left has its sights set on the January 6 riot, looking to put all the blame on the former president. Some things simply never change.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) recently created a Select Committee to investigate the January 6 incident. She invited House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to select 5 Republicans to sit on the 12-person committee, but Pelosi had the power to reject any of his nominees.

Recent reports indicate that former President Trump may receive a subpoena to testify in the House before the January 6th Committee. Representative Bennie Thompson (D-MS), chair of the new House Select Committee, has stated he intends to subpoena senior members of the previous administration and threatened to take them to court if there is any resistance. With regards to lines of inquiry, he stated, “Nothing is off-limits.”

When asked if Trump would be one of those subpoenaed, Thompson indicated the former POTUS and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy could both be of interest as witnesses. He added that if the facts point to an individual, there will be no hesitation in bringing that person before the committee.

It appears that Democrats are dead set on putting former President Trump in the middle of this investigation. Rep. Thompson stated he wanted to talk to anyone who spoke with President Trump on January 6, prior to the time protestors marched on the Capitol. Trump’s eldest daughter, Ivanka, and his Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, could also be among those subpoenaed.
