Donald Trump was just handed a major win…although we can assume he was expecting this one.
A news report has just revealed that the January 6 Committee withdrew its subpoena for the former president to testify before Congress.
The official decision was detailed in a letter sent to Trump attorney David Warrington from the Chairman of the January 6 Committee, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS).
In it, he states that the subpoena, which had been issued back in October, would not be pursued any longer.
The letter read:
“As you may know, the Select Committee has concluded its hearings, released its final report and will very soon reach its end. In light of the imminent end of our investigation, the Select Committee can no longer pursue the specific information covered by the subpoena.”
Thompson added:
“Therefore, through this letter, I hereby formally withdraw the subpoena issued to former President Trump, and notify you that he is no longer obligated to comply or produce records in response to said subpoena. We appreciate your engagement with the Select Committee on this matter.”
After hearing word of the news, Trump offered his thoughts on his social media site, Truth Social.
His post read:
“Was just advised that the Unselect Committee of political Thugs has withdrawn the Subpoena of me concerning the January 6th Protest of the CROOKED 2020 Presidential Election. They probably did so because they knew I did nothing wrong, or they were about to lose in Court. Perhaps the FBI’s involvement in RIGGING the Election played into their decision. In any event, the Subpoena is DEAD!”
