Cheney: Jan. 6 panel won’t take live TV testimony from Trump

BidenPresident said:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Raising the stakes on its extraordinary subpoena to Donald Trump, the House committee investigating the Capitol riot indicated Sunday it would not consider letting the former president testify live on television about the direct role that congressional investigators say he played in trying to overturn the 2020 election.

The committee is demanding Trump’s testimony under oath next month as well as records relevant to its investigation. To avoid a complicated and protracted legal battle, Trump reportedly had told associates he might consider complying with the subpoena if he could answer questions during live testimony.

But Rep. Liz Cheney, the committee’s vice chair, on Sunday rejected the possibility. She said the committee, which makes its major decisions with unanimous consent, would not allow Trump’s testimony to turn into a “food fight” on TV and she warned that the committee will take action if he does not comply with the subpoena.

That's who'll be doing it so you won't have much choice. Once the government collapses, the law becomes "Might makes Right". A point all Trumper and his WSE followers often forget.

Everyone is terrified of Trump. The current GOP definitely is - they don't want to lose Trump's brainwashed supporters. And Democrats certainly are - they don't want to lose democracy.
