January 6 committee withdraws Trump subpoena: ‘They knew I had done nothing wrong’

The Jan. 6 special committee decided on Wednesday to withdraw its subpoena from former President Trump as it concludes its work.

Trump’s testimony was no longer needed, according to panel chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS).

Thompson noted in a letter to Trump’s attorneys, « Given the impending completion of our investigation, the select committee can no longer pursue the specific information covered by the subpoena. »

He added: « Therefore, by this letter, I formally withdraw the subpoena issued to former President Trump and notify you that he is no longer obligated to comply or produce documents in response to said assignment. »

Trump took to his social media platform to share the following message:

THE MEDIA WILL ‘NEVER’ BE READY TO ‘SAY GOODBYE’ TO DONALD TRUMP: ARI FLEISCHER

« We have just been informed that the Political Thugs Screening Committee has withdrawn my subpoena regarding the January 6th protest against the CROOKED 2020 Presidential Election. They probably did it because they knew I didn’t didn’t do anything wrong, or that they were about to lose in court. Maybe the FBI’s involvement in rigging the election played into their decision. Either way, the subpoena is DEAD! »

Former President Donald Trump said he invoked his Fifth Amendment rights, on the advice of his lawyers, during his testimony in the civil investigation of New York Attorney General Letitia James.
