Inside the subpoena: What the Jan. 6 panel wants from Trump
The House Jan. 6 committee on Friday subpoenaed former President Donald Trump 바카라 게임 웹사이트 an extraordinary but not unprecedented move as the panel works to wrap up its investigation of the 2021 Capitol insurrection.
The committee is asking Trump to hand over documents by Nov. 4 and provide testimony 바카라 게임 웹사이트on or about바카라 게임 웹사이트 Nov. 14 and possibly longer. While the nine-member panel has already interviewed more than 1,000 people, many of them close to Trump, lawmakers say there are details that only he can confirm.
In a letter accompanying the subpoena, the committee said that Trump personally oversaw a multi-part effort to overturn his 2020 election defeat, that he knew it was illegal and that he knew his claims about the election were false.

Texts and other communications
Most of the panel바카라 게임 웹사이트s 19 requests for information are for text messages, logs of phone calls or other communications.

The panel is asking Trump for records of all calls and messages 바카라 게임 웹사이트placed or received by you at your direction,바카라 게임 웹사이트 including any conference calls, on Jan. 6, 2021.
Lawmakers are also seeking communications with members of Congress and others in the weeks before the insurrection and on that day, about the 2020 election and the joint session that Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s protesters interrupted. The requests include any communications referring to extremist groups who were coming to Washington, pressure on state legislators to overturn the vote and messages about Vice President Mike Pence, whom Trump was pushing to object to President Joe Biden바카라 게임 웹사이트s victory.

Personal notes
