Former Pres. Trump Using Executive Privilege In Jan. 6 Investigation
Newsy
The former president's legal team has sent letters to some former officials, telling them to not comply with congressional subpoenas.
Former President Donald Trump plans to assert executive privilege to avoid testifying before Congress on its investigation into the Jan. 6 insurrection. Four of Donald Trump’s associates have been subpoenaed to testify about January 6.If they refuse to comply, they can be subject to criminal contempt.What are they hiding? What are they afraid of?The truth will come out. We will make certain of that.
The former president said last month he would fight subpoenas for what he said was the "good of the country."
The move sets the stage for a likely clash with House Democrats who are investigating the roles of Trump and his allies in the run-up to the riot, when a large mob of Trump supporters broke into the Capitol as Congress was certifying the results of the presidential election won by Democrat Joe Biden.
