The US House of Representatives committee investigating the riots on the Capitol in Washington on 6 January last year is demanding testimony from former President Donald Trump. In the “extraordinary” subpoena, he’s accused of “personally orchestrating” efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. The committee has also demanded Trump’s personal communications with members of Congress and extremist groups from that day. Trump’s attorneys are looking at it and say they’ll respond soon to the “unprecedented action.” Meanwhile, Steve Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist, has been sentenced to 4 months in jail for defying a subpoena he received from the same committee. He’s appealing and remains free in the meantime.
