Will Trump testify before the Jan. 6 commission of inquiry?
After Democrats lobbied for a select committee to investigate the Capitol riots, social media users asked if former President Trump would be compelled to testify. WASHINGTON Six months after the Jan.6 attack on Capitol Hill and after House Democrats called for a committee inquiry, many social media are questioning whether former President Donald Trump could be compelled to testify. The Verify team has spoken to numerous political experts and examined the bill itself, to determine whether a subpoena is likely and whether it could force the former president to speak out in front of the Congress. THE SOURCES  David A. Super, Professor of Law and Economics at Georgetown University Law School Michael Thorning, Associate Director of Governance at Bipartisan Policy Center HR 503, Establishment of Select Committee to Investigate Jan 6 Attack against the United States Capitol   THE ANSWER  The bill explicitly allows the chair of the committee to issue subpoenas for any person he or she considers relevant. However, these subpoenas would likely result in lengthy legal battles that could outlast the committee itself. Legal experts said it was still not clear whether the subpoena of a former president would succeed if the legal battle were to unfold. WHAT WE FOUND  On June 30, just a week before the sixth anniversary of the attack on the United States Capitol, the House passed a resolution by a vote of 222 to 190 creating a select committee to investigate the events of that day. On social media, many questions remain about how this committee will be run and whether current and former lawmakers might be compelled to testify. Will the 1/6 commission make Trump testify? a Twitter user asked. Others have pushed for GOP lawmakers, like parliamentary minority leader Kevin McCarthy, to be forced to testify. McCarthy is scheduled to testify before the commission about his Jan.6 appeal with Trump.  nancy cronvich (@ FT1965) July 1, 2021  The Verify team reached out to political and legal experts to determine what actions are authorized by this committee. The committee was formed on June 30 with the passage of HR 503. This bill allows House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to select 13 members, five of whom are appointed after consultation with the minority leader . I think the word consultation is important here, said David Super, professor at Georgetown Law School. This does not mean that [Pelosi] must accept his suggestions. She can ignore them. Michael Thorning of the Bipartisan Policy Center said the committee would be able to continue subpoenas, as decided by the chairman. The committee has subpoena power, Thorning said. And could potentially subpoena former President Donald Trump or members of Congress to testify before the committee.  Both experts agreed that it remains unlikely that Trump will be compelled to testify. The subpoena power of Congress has been very difficult to apply in recent years, Thorning said. Congress has often taken these battles to court. It may take a while.  Experts believe these legal battles could last for months, if not years, perhaps even longer than the committee itself. If I advised the majority of the House, I would tell them not to subpoena him because all they would get is drama in court, Super said. They wouldnt actually get any testimony.  Thorning agreed that the prospect of the former president walking the halls of Congress to testify is unlikely. The committee could certainly subpoena and attempt to force former President Trump to testify, he said. But the potential for legal challenges that entail it may mean that will never happen.
