The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol voted unanimously on Thursday to subpoena former President Donald Trump.

The committee’s members, seven Democrats and two anti-Trump Republicans, voted to compel the former president to testify about his conduct leading up to and during the attack. "This is a question about accountability to the American people," said committee Chairman Rep.

Bennie Thompson, D-Miss. "He's required to answer to those millions of Americans whose votes he tried to throw out as part of his scheme to remain in power." Trump has previously refused to voluntarily cooperate with the panel, calling it a partisan witch hunt.

Not only has the former president refused to work with the committee, Trump has also urged political allies and former White House staffers to do likewise.
