The January 6 Committee has withdrawn its subpoena for former President Donald Trump to testify before Congress.
In a letter to Trump attorney David Warrington, Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) announced the rescission of an October subpoena intended to investigate the events preceding the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol.
“As you may know, the Select Committee has concluded its hearings, released its final report and will very soon reach its end. In light of the imminent end of our investigation, the Select Committee can no longer pursue the specific information covered by the subpoena,” Thompson wrote.
“Therefore, through this letter, I hereby formally withdraw the subpoena issued to former President Trump, and notify you that he is no longer obligated to comply or produce records in response to said subpoena,” it added. “We appreciate your engagement with the Select Committee on this matter.”
The former president responded via his Truth Social account.
