The US House select committee investigating 2021's Capitol riot issued a subpoena to former US President Donald Trump.
The
move came more than a week after the panel voted unanimously to seek
testimony and documents relevant to the investigation into the incident
on January 6, 2021 and its causes, Xinhua news agency reported.
The
subpoena to Trump requires the production of documents to the committee
by November 4 and to appear for deposition testimony beginning on or
about November 14.
Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson and Vice
Chair Liz Cheney, in a letter, accused Trump of personally orchestrating
and overseeing "a multi-part effort to overturn the 2020 presidential
election".
Trump has repeatedly lashed out at the committee and
its members. He has also questioned the timing of the panel's vote to
subpoena him.
On Janaury 6, 2021, a large crowd of Trump
supporters stormed the Capitol in Washington, DC, and disrupted a joint
session of Congress to affirm the 2020 presidential election results.
Approximately 140 police officers were assaulted. Authorities have linked at least five deaths to the mayhem.
It
was the worst attack on the US Congress in more than 200 years, which
led to Trump's second impeachment by the House of Representatives
shortly before his term officially ended.
