In what could be its final public hearing, the U.S. House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol unanimously voted to subpoena former President Donald Trump, The Hill reports. Trump is expected to challenge the subpoena in the court, a process that would likely outlast the life of the special committee which is set to end later this year. If Trump declined to comply with the compulsory order to testify, the committee and then the House could vote on whether to send a contempt of Congress referral to the Justice Department. It’s not clear when the subpoena will be formally served or what response date deadline would be given to Trump.
