在1月6日的历史性一致投票中，委员会传唤了特朗普
为了结束他们的第10次听证会-自6月以来的第九次听证会-众议院1月6日委员会一致投票传唤特朗普。
怀俄明州共和党众议员利兹·切尼提出了这项历史性的决议，并要求进行声音投票。包括7名民主党人和2名共和党人在内的9名成员都投了赞成票。
“寻求唐纳德·特朗普的证词是我们的义务，”委员会主席本尼·汤普森说。，说了关于传票的事。
切尼援引特朗普传票的必要性
切尼表示，对特朗普的传票是必要的，因为几名证人在被问及他们与前总统围绕2020年大选和叛乱的谈话时，辩称他们有第五修正案的权利。
“主席先生，我们的委员会现在有足够的信息来回答国会一开始提出的许多关键问题。我们有足够的信息来考虑多个个人的刑事转介，并建议一系列的立法提案，以防止另一个1月6日。但是一项关键任务仍然存在。我们必须寻求1月6日中央委员会宣誓后的证词，”她说。
“在我们的调查中，有30多名证人援引了第五修正案的权利，反对自证其罪，其中几名证人这样做是为了直接回应有关他们与唐纳德·特朗普打交道的问题。”
切尼承认，司法部可以透露更多的信息，但表示时间是关键。
“主席先生，在某个时候，司法部很可能会发现这些和其他证人隐瞒的事实。但是我们今天的责任是对我们的国家、我们的孩子和我们的宪法。我们有义务直接从发动这一切的人那里寻求答案，每个美国人都有权得到这些答案，所以我们现在可以采取行动来保护我们的共和国，”她说。
In historic move, House Jan. 6 committee votes to subpoena Trump
The House Jan. 6 committee on Thursday, after a months-long hiatus, held its ninth public hearing since June, and possibly its last in its investigation into the U.S. Capitol attack.
The panel focused on the role of former President Donald Trump, alleging he was front and center of a plot to overturn the 2020 election and in a historic development, voted unanimously to subpoena Trump to testify.
Trump responds to Jan. 6 subpoena vote
Former President Donald Trump responded to the committee's action for the first time on Thursday afternoon in a post to Truth Social, his conservative social media platform.
"Why didn't the Unselect Committee ask me to testify months ago?" he wrote, calling the committee a "total BUST."
"Why did they wait until the very end, the final moments of their last meeting?" he asked again.
Thompson: Panel will not issue subpoena for Pence testimony
House Jan. 6 committee chair BennieThompson told reporters right after the hearing that the panel would not issue a subpoena for former Vice President Mike Pence.
The committee had been debating how to manifest a meeting with the former vice president, but Thompson's comments indicate members will not force him to make an appearance.
When asked if he thinks Trump will honor the subpoena for his testimony, Thompson responded "ask Donald Trump." Thompson did not answer when asked if the committee would vote to hold Trump in contempt of Congress if he chooses not to comply.
In historic, unanimous vote, Jan. 6 committee subpoenas Trump
To close out their 10th hearing overall -- the ninth since June -- the House Jan. 6 committee unanimously voted to subpoena Trump.
Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., offered the historic resolution and requested a voice vote. Each of the nine members, including seven Democrats and two Republicans, voted yes.
"It is our obligation to seek Donald Trump's testimony," chair Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said about the subpoena.
Cheney cites need for Trump subpoena
Cheney said a subpoena for Trump is necessary since several witnesses pleaded their Fifth Amendment right when pressed about their conversations with the former president surrounding the 2020 election and the insurrection.
"Mr. Chairman, our committee now has sufficient information to answer many of the critical questions posed by Congress at the outset. We have sufficient information to consider criminal referrals for multiple individuals and to recommend a range of legislative proposals to guard against another January 6. But a key task remains. We must seek the testimony, under oath, of January 6's central plater," she said.
"More than 30 witnesses in our investigation have invoked their 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination, and several of those did so specifically in response to questions about their dealings with Donald Trump directly."
Cheney conceded that the Justice Department could reveal more information but indicated that time is of the essence.
"Mr. Chairman, at some point, the Department of Justice may well unearth the fact that these and other witnesses are concealing. But our duty today is to our country and our children and our Constitution. We are obligated to seek answers directly from the man who set this all in motion, and every American is entitled to those answers so we can act now to protect our republic," she said.
