Rep. Liz Cheney said the House Jan. 6 committee is in talks with former Pres. Trump's lawyers about his potential testimony.
Vice Chair Liz Cheney speaks as the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, holds a hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 13, 2022."The committee is in discussions with President Trump's attorneys and he has an obligation to comply," Cheney, the vice chair of the committee, said Tuesday during a discussion with PBS journalist Judy Woodruff at Cleveland State University.
Trump has not publicly said whether or not he will cooperate with the subpoena. According to sources familiar with his thinking, Trump told advisers he'd welcome a live appearance before the panel. It doesn't appear the committee is willing to give Trump the benefit of an unfiltered megaphone to repeat falsehoods about the 2020 election.
"We haven't made determinations about the format itself but it will be done under oath, it will be done potentially over multiple days," Cheney told Woodruff on Tuesday. "We have significant questions based on the evidence that we've developed and what we know already about the extent to which he was personally and directly involved in every aspect of the effort."
