Donald Trump has been issued with a subpoena to testify at the inquiry into last year’s riot at the US Capitol.
The committee overseeing the probe into the deadly attack in Washington DC has asked the former president for testimony and records, saying he “orchestrated” a plot to overturn the 2020 election.
“We recognise that a subpoena to a former president is a significant and historic action,” chairman Bennie Thompson and vice chair Liz Cheney wrote in the letter to Mr Trump.
“We do not take this action lightly,” they added.
